That "${bit}" is definitely not a Ruby subtitution. It's done that way
in Perl and shell scripting, but not Ruby. In Ruby it would be
"#{bit}". I don't know what language prefaces variable names with a
slash, though. I'm not really a Perlie, but I don't think it's a valid
sigil there (can't find it on any lists, anyway).
