Subject: ugly style variables

I'm new to ruby, and thus far I mostly like what I've seen. But these
$_, $&, and the other, ugly style variables that ruby inherited from
Perl. Let's say I'm not in love with them. Is there an alternative way
to obtain the same functionality, but in a more verbose and intuitive
way?
