Subject: Ruby patch level

I have Ruby 1.8.5 on Windows XP and unable to identify the patch level
for that release. I have tried the following commands without success
* ruby -e 'puts(RUBY_PATCHLEVEL)' gives uninitialized constant
* ruby -v does not show patch level
* from irb: puts RUBY_PATCHLEVEL gives uninitialized constant

The reason I am doing this is because of this...
The official Ruby blog is reporting “multiple vulnerabilities” in the
official Ruby interpreter (MRI). A significant number of versions are
affected:

    * All versions prior to 1.8.5
    * All 1.8.5 versions prior to patch 231
    * All 1.8.6 versions prior to patch 230
    * All 1.8.7 versions prior to patch 22
    * All 1.9.0 versions prior to 1.9.0-2

I am thinking that my version of Ruby predates PATCHLEVEL var? If so, is
there a way to perhaps correlate the date of the Ruby package with a
patch level? Thanks in advance for your help.
