Subject: Re: problems in String type argument for Regular Expression

I mean I have a regular expression as a string.

puts aPattern
=> "/[aeiou]/"

When I convert it as a Regexp instance, the result is
=> /\/[aeiou]\//

At this point, the given regular pattern is not regular expression  
anymore, it's just a string.
