Subject: block variable not working how I expect it to work

Here is my ruby version:
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

Here is the block I wrote (this is actually a little test block for
testing part of a larger block):
------------
def myblock
  testvar = ['cool', ' array']
  yield testvar
  print testvar
end
------------

Now here is a snippet of code that isn't giving the result I would
expect:
------------
myblock do |stuff|
  stuff = 'dumb string'
end
------------

This outputs "cool array" when I would expect it to output "dumb string"
since I changed the variable when executing the block.  So my question
is: how can I get 'testvar' to change to whatever the end result of
'stuff' is when the block executes?

Thanks,

James Dinkel
