ParseTree is probably the best tool for this job, it returns the AST  
for ruby methods as a tree of arrays and includes a class for  
processing and rewriting the AST called SexpProcessor.  It comes with  
an ABC metrics tool (assignments, branches, calls) and is the  
backbone of the ruby2c project.
