Subject: Setting Default Character Encodings ruby 1.9

This is probably something stupid simple I'm overlooking.. but.. here it
goes.

I'm trying to set the default character encoding at the command line
like this:

=20

ruby19 -E ASCII-8BIT:ASCII-8BIT scratch.rb

=20

my scratch.rb file has the following line:

=20

p __ENCODING__

=20

The output is always this:

=20

#<Encoding:US-ASCII>

=20

I want it to be this:

=20

#<Encoding:US-ASCII-8BIT>

=20

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Andy
