Can you give a *complete* program which causes it, rather than fragments?
The following program works fine for me (FreeBSD)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
require 'socket'
def mysend(str)
  begin
    $sock.send(str, 0, "127.0.0.1", 9999)
  rescue Exception => e
    p "Oops: #{e}"
  end
end

$sock = UDPSocket.new

mysend("hello")
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Aside: method names usually don't start with uppercase letters, and you
might be better to avoid them.

Incidetnally, some care also needs to be taken with the method name 'send',
because for most objects it's used to for method dispatch:

  irb(main):007:0> 3.send('+',5)
  => 8
