Subject: [ruby-talk:17239] Bug with $= and regexps?

Could someone explain this behaviour to me?

##################
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w

string = "\001test\001"
regexp = /\001test\001/

$= = true
puts "case insensitive" if(regexp.match(string))

$= = false
puts "case sensitive" if(regexp.match(string))
##################

This script outputs only:
case sensitive

Tom.
