Subject: start_with

Can someone explain why this doesn't work?

class Person
  attr_accessor :firstName
  P=[]
  def initialize
    P << self
  end
  def self.find_person(part)
    P.each {|e| if e.firstName.start_with(part) then return e end}
    end
  end

  u=Person.new
  u.firstName="Ron"
  r=Person.new
  r.firstName="Bob"

  q=Person.find_person("Ro")
  puts q.firstName
