Subject: Re: Changing outside variables inside a proc

This only works as long as the variables and block params have the
same name. If you want to be able to pass the variables to be updated
to proc, as the original poster requested, then it won't work.

It is a great way to really confuse the hell out of someone reading
your code, though; the variable/parameter scoping issues surrounding
blocks are one of the few things I really consider to be a "wart" in
the core Ruby language.
