Subject: Range as conditional expr

Hi,

I am reading "Programming Ruby" [a.k.a. Pickaxe]
and I found example
---
  while gets
    print if /a/ .. /e/
  end
---
but one does not work. However, after changing it to:
----
  while gets
    print if (/a/=~$_) .. (/e/=~$_)
  end
---
it works. 
But, what is the problem with the first version? 

Regards
