This code works for me in both

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.0 (2004-08-25) [i686-linux]
$ ruby-stable-snapshot -v
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-08-24) [i686-linux]

The exact code I am using is:

   class String
     def ls()
       fa=Dir.glob(self+"/{.,}?*")
       fa.delete(self+"/..")
       return fa
     end
   end

   p ".".ls
