# Strip block comments

```perl
sample().split(/ '/*' .+? '*/' /).print;

sub sample {
'   /**
    * Some comments
    * longer comments here that we can parse.
    *
    * Rahoo
    */
    function subroutine() {
     a = /* inline comment */ b + c ;
    }
    /*/ <-- tricky comments */

    /**
     * Another comment.
     */
    function something() {
    }
'}
```

Output:

```
   
    function subroutine() {
     a =  b + c ;
    }
    

    
    function something() {
    }
```
