Thanks.  Now I have a new question.

dcarrera ~ $ ruby -we 'p (1)'
-e:1: warning: p (...) interpreted as method call
1

What does that error mean?  What's wrong with 'p (1)'.  I realize that
it's the space before the bracket that causes the error.  But I don't
understand what's wrong with the space.

Thanks.
