This worked for me:

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'

user = "user_here"
pw = "password_here"
agent = WWW::Mechanize.new
page = agent.post 'http://youtube.com/signup',
{"username"=>user,"password"=>pw,"current_form"=>"loginForm","action_login"=>"Log+In"}
page = agent.get 'http://youtube.com/'
# this returns true, showing you are logged in
p page.body.to_s.include?("/user/#{user}")
