I think the follow-up question we all have is what do you specifically mean
by "when I try it through by Ruby on Rails program."
In other words, what is the context or surrounding code in which you "try
it" within your rails app? This likely has a large bearing on any answer
anyone can give you. I just ruled out the possibility of it being a
variations in ruby versions (RVM is handy for that). Specifically, it works
using irb (just as you said) in jruby (1.5.3), ree (2010.02), 1.8.7-p302 and
1.9.2-p0. It even works in 1.8.6-p399 and 1.9.1-p378.
That leaves rails context. We need code!
