I haven't more than glanced at this (my stack keeps growing), but it may 
be what you are looking for:

Ruby Flickr Upload Script (by Bill Stilwell)
http://www.deftcode.com/archives/ruby_flickr_upload_script.html

"The actual development of the script was fairly easy: ruby�s built in 
support for option parsing, YAML, and XML made things simple. The only 
irritating part was the HTTP POST of the image file, which I found is 
not supported by the ruby�s (otherwise excellent) standard http lib. (In 
case you think this an unreasonable expectation, perl does this.) A 
rousing bout of googling lead me to this*, which I used to extract a 
reasonably generic multipart/form-data helper class."
