Geez, Marnen, I don't see why people on a list focused on the most famous Ruby app would view it beneath themselves to address a fundamental Ruby question.
Incidentally, my question is, in fact, related to a Rails - a Rails application. My client for the Rails app wants to change a bunch of the app's field names. This is a job for a machine, say ActiveScaffold, for example. However, despite the documentation from ActiveScaffold.com and folks in the ActiveScaffold newsgroup, I still don't have that running. Hence, I wrote my own tool (in Ruby, of course), which I hope to finish by tomorrow. But it's gotten complicated, which led to try introducing Ruby Debug rather than puts debugging statements. For this purpose, I was guided by Ruby Cookbook, O'Reilly, 2006. I thought the RoR community might be sympathetic to a poor soul trying to build a Rails-app administration tool.
