Subject: [ruby-talk:25162] parsedate: NameError when calling sub!

Hello!

Warning ... this might be a newbie question ...

In the following line of Ruby code I'm trying to print an asterisk
when the modification date of a file is earlier than a certain
threshold (with threshold being a Date object).

print '*' if Date.new(ParseDate.parsedate(File.stat(fileName).mtime,
true)[0, 2]) < threshold

I get the following message:

e:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/ParseDate.rb:23:in `parsedate': private method
`sub!' called for Tue Nov 13 17:00:37 W. Europe Standard Time
2001:Time (NameError)

Any ideas what went wrong?

Kind regards,                    Axel             <><
