Subject: Regexp imxo - does 'x' work?


should this not work ?

  irb(main):001:0> %r{
  irb(main):002:0/ foo
  irb(main):003:0/ #foo
  irb(main):004:0/ bar
  irb(main):005:0/ #bar
  irb(main):006:0/ }
  /\nfoo\n#foo\nbar\n#bar\n/

or this?

  irb(main):007:0> %r{foo bar}x
  /foo bar/x

what DOES 'x' do?

  perl -e 'print "foobar" =~ /foo bar/x'      >> 1
  ruby -e 'print "foobar" =~ /foo bar/x'      >> 0

confused.
