Ruby is a late binding environment.
You get the same possibilities rather it's early or late binding.

require "win32ole"

ie = WIN32OLE.new("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.visible = true
ie.Navigate("http://www.google.com")


The Ruby WIN32OLE is very, very good.  You should give it a try.
I know that early binding is faster(performance wise) than late binding, 
but for now, that's all Ruby offers.

But it gets the job done.
