Subject: pythonchallenge level5  and pickle

hi,what is Ruby's equivalent module of the Python
"Pickcle" module?  I am trying to use Ruby for the 
Pythonchhallenge and I am in level 5 now but looks
like there is no way to resolve it by Ruby because it
relies on the Python pickle module.(level 5 url:
http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/peak.html)

What is Python pickle : "
3.14 pickle -- Python object serialization

The pickle module implements a fundamental, but
powerful algorithm for serializing and de-serializing
a Python object structure. ``Pickling'' is the process
whereby a Python object hierarchy is converted into a
byte stream, and ``unpickling'' is the inverse
operation, whereby a byte stream is converted back
into an object hierarchy. Pickling (and unpickling) is
alternatively known as ``serialization'',
``marshalling,''3.2 or ``flattening'', however, to
avoid confusion, the terms used here are ``pickling''
and ``unpickling''. "
BTW, anyone at pythonchallenge via Ruby? let me know,
so we can validate/improve our Ruby version solutions.
