Assuming $_ contains HTML, which of the following substitutions will remove all tags in it?
1.s/<.>//g;
2.s/<.?>//gs;
3.s/<\/?[A-Z]\w(?:\s+[A-Z]\w(?:\s=\s(?:(["']).?\1|[\w-.]+))?)\s*>//gsix;

Detailed Explanation

If it weren't for HTML comments, improperly formatted HTML, and tags with interesting data like < SCRIPT >, you could do this. Alas, you cannot. It takes a lot more smarts, and quite frankly, a real parser.
