Note that you only have to make sure that you have one instance of
Regexp and one instance of String. No need to have the Regexp on the
right side. Here's the warning:

ruby -e 'p "a" =~ "ab"'
-e:1: warning: string =~ string will be obsolete; use explicit regexp
nil

And here is the reason for that warning and an illustration that you
can have String/Regexp on either side of '=~'

ruby -e 'p /a/ =~ "ab"'
0

ruby -e 'p "a" =~ /ab/'
nil

Gis,
