This sounds like a great tool.  I downloaded it and I followed the
installation instructions, with the following result:

  % ruby install.rb
  install.rb:46:in `=~': type mismatch: String given (TypeError)
          from install.rb:46

This is with the following ruby version:  

  ruby 1.9.0 (2004-04-19) [i386-freebsd4.0]

Perhaps ri is a bit out of date, as well?
