PerlIO::via::StripHTML - PerlIO layer to strip HTML tags from an input file
use PerlIO::via::StripHTML;
open my $file, '<:via(StripHTML)', 'foo.html'
or die "Can't open foo.html: $!\n";
This package implements a PerlIO layer, for reading files only. It strips HTML tags from the input, leaving only plain text. This can be useful, for example, to find something in the text of a HTML page.
This is only a preliminary version.
