Subject: Re: Catching undefined global variable errors

Sorry everyone,

my example was wrong, THIS is the surprising code:

$the_key = "key1"

a = { "key1" => 1, "key2" => 2}

unless a[$the_ley] # orthographic error !!!
# ruby doesnt catch this error
puts "SURPRISE!!"
end

the orthographic error is in the variable. Shouldnt this be catched by
the interpreter ? Any ideas ?

-g.
