no need to escape all those html chars. The following works for me --

# create new template
my $template = HTML::Template->new(
                                     filename => $template,
                                     global_vars => 1,
                                     loop_context_vars => 1,
                                     filter => sub { $$ =~ 
s/<!--#.*?-->//g; }
                                   );
