[LRUG] Ruby - ISO 8601

[Tony Hammond]

Thanks, James:

Had forgotten to do the 'require'.

Mind you, first time I tried this I got the following error:

% ruby openurl.rb ng
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb:6: Date is not a class (TypeError)
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/parsedate.rb:4
        from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/time.rb:43
        from openurl.rb:82

With the following require statements:

require 'cgi'
require 'net/http'
require "rexml/document"; include REXML
require 'time'

If I shift the order and put "require 'time'" first, everything is then
hunky dory. Strange (?)

Cheers,

Tony
