Subject: Novice: Each and p

Hi,

From the mails I got in the last days, this it seems to be about
everthing Ruby, I hope you have nothing against questions from a
newbie. If they are off-topic and you know a better resource, I would
be grateful for a pointer.

I have the following statement:
    ARGV.each {|s| p s}
Now, I see the result, but I have two problems with it:
1. What exactly is the meaning of the '|s|' token?
2. What is 'p' and why does 'print' not work?

I would be especially grateful for pointers to documents explaining
these issues. I couldn't find anything on www.ruby-lang.org or
www.rubycentral.com, but this is probably just the result of the
non-existent search words.

tia,
Thorsten
