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.




puts __LINE__
# stuff
puts __LINE__
# I must not post in HTML
puts __LINE__


#-> 1
#-> 3
#-> 5
