To me, the reasoning behind the question seemed to be what to do if
the sytem has Ruby installed, but not the 'paste' utility. Or maybe
it's simply an exercise in handling memory usage, speed, and overall
efficiency.

Either way, this answer is not nearly as helpful as you seem to think
it is.

But that's just what I think. Maybe Oliver has different ideas.
