# Just read (skimmed) apocalypse 5, had one concern - it looks

# m#<a href="a"><img src="sss"><!banner>..etc#

# m#\<a\ href="a"\>\<img\ src="sss"\>\<!banner\>#
That's intentional. What will that regex do with this?
<a href="a"><img src='sss'><!banner>
That's interpreted the same way, but typed a bit differently. It won't
match your regex.
The moral of the story is that you should not try to parse the *MLs with
regexen--use modules instead.
