<tmpl_if comment>
template comment
</tmpl_if>


$template->param(comment => 0);

Works perfectly.

alternately:

<tmpl_comment>
...
</tmpl_comment>


sub comment_filter {
        ...
        s#<(/?)tmpl_comment>#"<$1tmpl_if".$1?"":" comment">#eg;
        ...
}

of course, you could make the expression faster and easier to read if 
you made it two s/// statements instead.
