Subject: irb and ruby giving different results

in IRB,
ASCII     = (0..255).map{|c| c.chr }
PRINTABLE = ASCII.grep(/[[:print:]]/)
PRINTABLE.length
>>> 191

However, inside the ruby program PRINTABLE.length only gives 95 !! ???

#!/opt/local/bin/ruby
 ASCII     = (0..255).map{|c| c.chr }
 puts(ASCII.length)
 PRINTABLE = ASCII.grep(/[[:print:]]/)
 puts(PRINTABLE.length)
# -> 95 instead of 191

(Using ruby 1.8.7 on OS X 10.5.5, powerpc). Ran both from same Terminal.
Both use /opt/local/bin/ruby.

Why this difference? I ran irb with -f (so irbrc would not be loaded and
still got the same result, so its not some require that is causing the
difference).

p.s. sorry for cross-posting from roguelike thread -- this is getting
lost there.
