I wasn't advocating the use of globals (I'm assuming when you say global, you mean $var), only trying to learn what using instance variables brings to the table when not used in class instances.  

I guess this leads to a question of how to best define variables within ruby.  Personally, I usually just define the necessary variables at the top of the file, outside of any method, but I'm not positive that that's the correct way either.  Anyone more knowledgable about this that can give advice?
