Has anyone successfully used Hpricot call multiple pages in the same  
ruby script:

# begin code

require ‘hpricot’  
require ‘open-uri’

url = “[http://ibm.com](http://ibm.com)”  
N = 5

page = nil

for counter in (0…N)

```
puts counter.to_s() + "> checking " + url
page = Hpricot( open( url ) )
sleep(2)

```

end

# end code

I end up with the following error:

> ruby test.rb  
> 0\> checking [http://ibm.com](http://ibm.com)  
> 1\> checking [http://ibm.com](http://ibm.com)
