I'm not a regex guru by any means, but I think your problem here is
that your expression is "greedy". Try (.?) ... I think.

I have found that the best people to ask for regex questions are PERL
programmers. They seem to have the insider knowledge on this stuff.
There are a few online tutorials that I've seen, but none that I could
recommend with any confidence. They are simply "this expression does
this, and put it together ... wow it works! Regexs are great!"
There is a #perl channel on freenode (IRC) that I have found to be
extremely helpful in this regard.
If you do find any good tutorials, I would appreciate an offline.
