Subject: chomp

Hello

I am reading a book right now on ruby on rails and the author says that
you can only use chomp with the built variable which is $_

i am confused because it seemed to work fine when i used it like this

print "Please enter the temperature:"
temp = gets
puts "The temperature is #{temp.chomp}."

but according to the author that isnt supposed to work, am i missing
something or is the author incorrect?

Thanks
