Subject: exception and $!

the pickaxe tells me that the last exception is available in $!, but
c:\>irb
irb(main):001:0> raise "Its all bad!"
RuntimeError: Its all bad!
        from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> puts $!
nil
=> nil

same thing happens from a script. Its windows
c:\>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32]

any ideas?

Thanks
Paul
