Subject: Deep copy in Rub?


I remember when using C++ for the first time and running into the shallow/deep 
copy problem. "I copied my object, freed something in obj_b, but it's also gone 
in obj_a, what gives!?!"   :-)

I'm a Ruby Newbie now and wonder how this issue is addressed in Ruby. I've seen 
references to a clone() method, is this related?
 
Can anyone enlighten me on this topic with respect to Ruby?  :-)
 
Thanks very much!
