Perhaps you could give us an example of the text you are trying to parse
that includes a comment that gets passed to the 'comment' event handler, but
doesn't get passed to the 'default' event handler when the 'comment' handler
isn't defined.
A short example script that shows the problem would also be handy. I'd be
especially interested in seeing all HTML::Parser method calls..
