Subject: Getting the version number of the ruby interpreter

Hello all,

Is there a way to get the version number within a ruby script of the 
interpreter running that script?

Yes, I know I can do this on the cmd line:
% ruby --version

I didn't seem to find anything in the documentation though I am new at 
this language.

I have my reasons for wanting the version info in this manner. If you 
really want to know, I'll tell you. Otherwise, I'll spare you the boring 
details.

Thanks,
KPB
