I am curious to what that message means?

server> ruby a.rb
a.rb:5: embedded document meets end of file
server> cat a.rb
p 'before'
=begin p 1
im a comment
=end; p 2
p 'after'
server>


I have noticed that you can type text on the same line as =begin/=end
as long its not semicolon..  without semicolon it works.

server> ruby a.rb
"before"
"after"
server> cat a.rb
p 'before'
=begin p 1
im a comment
=end p 2
p 'after'
server>
