And why not?  line.scan is good, but for old Perl (4) hackers like me, /xxx/g would just be one more encouragement to give up Perl for a nice OOP like Perl!

Perl had this sort of "convert-happy code" idea also - that is, to use forms that were already known (such as s/xxx/g and others) - this way it took less time to learn.  Ruby, I think, has some of the same idea.....right?
