Subject: Odd Regexp Issue

I'm writing a web crawler, and in that crawler I want to remove all
scripts in the pages I crawl.

I should be able to do a simple gsub!(/<!--.*-->/,"") right?  Well, I do
that and unfortunately it doesn't remove some scripts.  Take google for
instance.  It removes the first script, but not the second.  I'm really
confused.  Since google has two scripts, <!-- happens twice, so do -->
so it's not like the full regexp should ever fail to be triggered.

Any insight on the issue would be GREAT?! :D

Thanks,
Kyle Heck
