Also, how would I compare decimals in ruby, as Ruby doesn't have a
decimal type built in?

I wanted to do something like

@d > '12312.123123'.to_d

However, that doesn't appear to be possible.  I attempt to do to_f,
but I got the following error:
ArgumentError: Object must be of type Decimal.

>From mscorlib:0:in
`CompareTo'E:\IronRuby\r156\src\IronRuby.Libraries\Extensions\IComparableOps.cs:24:in
`<=>'

Any ideas?

Thanks
Ben
