Subject: Problem with my gsub!

I can't get a gsub! to work when I use a counter variable in my 
replacement.

content.gsub!(/^%%Page:.*([0-9]{1,5})$/, "%%Page: $1")

I literally get "Page: $1" in my output. Why? How do I indicate that I 
want the number, whatever it was, from the search? I've tried #{$1}, but 
that didn't work either. RUBY does use $1 for its counters, doesn't it? 
I've tried \1, but, that gives me even worse results.

Thanks a lot.
