Subject: [ruby-talk:19413] Setting $_ for the current scope

Hello,

Does Ruby have an syntactical sweetness to set $_ for a specific (aka
current) scope? In Perl I would do

	for ($foo) {
		/argh/ and cry();
		/help/ and help();
	}

Of course I could always assign to $_, but would this assignment be
local to the current scope?

Regards,

Renald
