Sorry, my response above is incorrect.  I made the change from EOS to 
eos in the stand alone file and ran that file in TextMate. When I use it 
as a require or integrated in my main script I get the following error 
(changed from eos to end_of_string).

 dynamic constant assignment
Config = <<end_of_string

Maybe I'd better go back to the separate file and start over again.
