Great!!  Just comiled ruby from cvs (ruby 1.9.0 (2004-11-04)
[i686-linux]) and was able to match using:

dat = <<-"END_TEXT"
/* some stuff */
class foo {
       public $var;
       public function __construct() {}
       public function bar() {
               if (false) {
               }
       }

}
// some other stuff
END_TEXT

dat.match(/(class\s+\w+\s*(\{(?:[^\{\}]*|\g<2>)*\}))/)
print $1 

Thank you very much for your help!!

Regards,
Jason
