Hi All,

Does Ruby offer a global variable like $. or a global method that =
provides the line-number in which it appears as opposed to the last line =
scanned by Ruby?

I've assembled a large script of examples from various Ruby web sites,  =
which in turn produces a lot of output.  It'd be nice if I could just =
paste in puts "#{$something}" at various points so that a reader =
perusing a portion of the output could easily locate the source code =
that generated it.

It's no big deal.  Ruby seems to have everything in the world in it, so =
I thought it might have this, too, though I couldn't find it.

Regards,
Richard
