It can strip things that are not tags and not strip things
that are tags.

It can fail for most of the situations shown in the FAQ answer.

$ cat striptag
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#usage example: striptag font div < file.html
read( STDIN, $_, -s STDIN );
foreach my $tag (@ARGV) { s@</?$tag.*?>@@sig }
print;

Ask it to strip the img tags from this:

<img src="cool.jpg" alt=">>Cool Pic!<<">
<!-- <img>no img tag here!</img> -->
