Subject: newbie question

Hi all,

I'm playing with patterns:

irb(main):001:0> name = "Jasmine"
=> "Jasmine"
irb(main):002:0> phrase = "ja"
=> "ja"
irb(main):003:0> name.sub(/ja/i, '**')
=> "**smine"
irb(main):004:0> name.sub(/phrase/i, '**')
=> "Jasmine"

So, how do I tell sub that it should use the local variable phrase 
instead of the string 'phrase' ?

TIA,
Vamsee.
