No. I just ended up that way.

In the old parser modules we had HTML::Filter to help you with this
stuff, but HTML-Parser-3.xx has better ways. Here you would simply
set up a 'default' handler that pass through the text unchanged.
This is the comment stripper example:
use HTML::Parser;
HTML::Parser->new(default_h => [sub { print shift }, 'text'],
comment_h => [""],
)->parse_file(shift || die) || die $!;
