   #!/usr/bin/perl -w
   # skip PHP stuff in a file

   use strict;
   my ($prev, $match);

   # slurp up the entire file.
   undef $/;
   $_ = <>;

   while (s/
             (.*?)         # get text that doesn't include delimiters...
             (<\?.*?\?>)   # ... plus text in ONE set of delimiters...
             //xsm)        # ... matching across multiple lines
   {
       $prev = $1;         # text before <?
       $match = $2;        # text inside <?...?>
       print "$prev";
   }

   print "$_\n";           # whatever's left over.
   exit(0);
