Subject: heredoc with variable interpolation breaks script

I have a somewhat weird problem: Since a few days (I recognized
yesterday) a script ceased to work which did perfectly before.  I
stripped it down to a heredoc with string interpolation, which now
breaks the script.  Here's a minimal example:


--==-=-=
Content-Type: application/pgp-signature

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux)

iD8DBQFFBSjzDwe2dZoA2CcRAkiQAJ4uISXVND5lZYkcDvUz580zS4RA1wCePrsD
dpoCV+C+nWX8DWkWdEFGeD8=
=H75A
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
--==-=-=--

--=-=-=
Content-Disposition: attachment

#!/usr/bin/ruby

var1 = "test"
var2 = <<EOF
let us look #{test}
EOF
puts var2

--=-=-=


Running this script, I get the following error:

,----
| olli@athene:~/tmp$ ./test.rb 
| ./test.rb:5:in `test': wrong number of arguments (ArgumentError)
|         from ./test.rb:5
| olli@athene:~/tmp$ ruby --version
| ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i486-linux]
`----

I'm using ruby on a Debian unstable system.

TIA,
 olli
