Subject: Test for Internet Connection

Does anyone know a way to test to see if the computer is connected to
the internet in Ruby?

I wrote a Ruby program with WWW::Mechanize, but it completely hangs Ruby
when my internet is turned off.  Because Ruby does not use system
threading, there is no way to check for a timeout when WWW::Mechanizer
freezes due to not having an internet connection.
