Actually, it's even worse than that. With $;, the person invoking the
prohram can override it with the -F option, so you're not safe just
because you don't include any modules.
How about making any assignment to one of these globals-with-a-
side-effect generate a warning if -w was in effect. That way you'd at
least know that it was happening.
% ruby -w -F! dave
Warning: changing $; may affect this program's behavior
If you have a legitimate reason for doing it, you can turn warnings
off in the code while you make the assignment. At least that extra
effort would make you think about the potential consequences.

Dave
