Subject: strict pragma & scope

I'm still reading "the book" and am trying to see if I got this right. 
Sometimes the book isn't direct enough on "this is how you will be programming 
in ruby".

Is there anything like perl strict pragma in ruby?

Scope.  It seems that there are some different approaches to scope.  For 
example, objects created in a loop remain in scope after you leave the scope of 
the iterator.  So my favorite temporary variables of i, x, foo, and bar are all 
now permanent variable elements in my code blocks from their first use.
True/False?
