Subject: Class Variables for subclases...

Hey Guys,

Check out the following:

class A
  @@anobject = 'green'
  def fun2
    @@anobject
  end
end

class B < A
  @@anobject = 'blue'
  def fun2
    @@anobject
  end
end

puts B.new.fun2    # blue
puts A.new.fun2    # blue

So it looks like the subclass B is not defining its own class variable
but reusing A's class variable @@anobject. Is there a different way to
specify class variables to overcome this issue?

Sonny.
