I'm used to using ksh - in fact, I write in ksh more the Ruby, Perl, and C =
put together (sorry...)

Ruby's gsub(pat, str) form never felt "right" - I kept wanting s/pat1/pat2/=
 - and why not?  I really am curious...

Instead of:

"My string".gsub(/My/, "His")

=2E..why not?

"My string".s/My/His/

=2E...?
