commenting

I'm using Drupal 6 and its core comment module.

I want to run a custom funcion every time a user posts a comment, but I don't want to mess with the comment.module for obvious reasons.

Is there a practical way I can do this in a custom module? If not, what are the alternatives as I don't want to write my own commenting system.
