Ah ! I thought it was GPL. Does not bother me either way, but from
what little I understand about licensing and stuff I think our (Ruby's)
License is more liberal which is good :-)

That is what I will like to try out. Also, like Guy advised in other post
I will "look at the regexp test in rubicon and try to understand some
results".

Thanks Matz.

          And a Very Happy New Year to you all !!!
