Rails - Feb 2009 - Collection of Partials, :as Option No Good, TemplateError

I''m trying to render a collection of partials using :as. It raises an
undefined local variable exception. Not sure why:

~/delivery-log/app/views/packages $ ls -1
_package.html.erb
_package_list.html.erb
index.html.erb


index.html.erb:
<%render :partial=>''package_list'',
:collection=>@packages, :as=>:package
%>

_package_list.html.erb:
<tr>
  <td><%= package.upc %></td>
</tr>

Seems simple, but it only raises the aforementioned exception:

ActionView::TemplateError (undefined local variable or method
`package'' for #<ActionView::Base:0xb7589ac8>) on line #2 of
packages/
_package_list.html.erb:
1: <tr>
2:   <td><%= package.upc %></td>
3: </tr>

Why not use :locals => ?

Sure there a workarounds, but they don''t explain why :as won''t
work.

You''re right, of course (except for locals being a workaround), and it
seems like they should work the same or similar, but since :as is
nearly impossible to Google for I recommend whatever workable method
presents itself. That is, all other things being equal, whichever
method is better documented is the stronger one. But that''s just me.
