I just had a funny thing happen.
I've got a bunch of classes that take a url for their initialize
methods, and do a little cleaning on the url, just in case.

I was setting them all up like this
@url = "http://localhost:1948/";
@one = pageOne(@url)
@two = pageTwo(@url)
@three = pageThree(@url)

Because of the housekeeping & pass-by-reference being standard, @url
ended up getting longer and longer, and strange and stranger.

I know a dozen fairly easy ways of solving this problem, but my
question is, what is the _right_ way to solve it in ruby?

I could easily do this in the SuperPage class that all the pages
inherit from, but it seems a tad awkward. Then again so do some of
the other ideas I have.

def initailize(url)
@url=cleanURL(url.clone)
end

Thanks,
Kyle

I think it's more standard to use String#dup rather than clone. If all
these pages have access to the cleanURL method why not just do the dup
in there rather than passing in the copy?
