Ah, don't say that.  We're pretty nice and almost never bite.  ;)

Feel free to ask future questions.

I know you've already got an answer, but this is the source of your  
confusion and I thought I would see if I could clear it up for you.

Everything that is "Core Ruby" can be used without a require.  Now  
Ruby also ships with a "Standard Library", which is a collection of  
useful extra libraries you can also use (but with a require).   
StringScanner is a Standard Library.

You can tell by looking at which link they are documented under, from  
this page:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/

Hope that helps.
