[MacPerl] regex problem



To convert  HTML  to text, I borrowed a regex from Tom Christiansen's
striphtml.pl (and corrected it).  The following regex works fine on a
variable but hangs MacPerl
if acting on $_.  I have to force MacPerl to quit.  Is this a known
problem?

s{<(?:[^>'"]+|".*?"|'.*?')+>}{}gsx;
