From: Brian Wolf Date: 2010-02-02T18:03:23+09:00 Subject: newbie question - RESTful web service book Hi, I'm new to ruby, reading a book, "RESTful Web Services" by Richardson and Ruby On page 2,they have this: #!/usr/bin/ruby -w # amazon-book-search.rb require 'amazon/search' if ARGV.size != 2 puts "Usage: #{$0} [Amazon Web Services AccessKey ID] [text to search for]" exit end access_key, search_request = ARGV req = Amazon::Search::Request.new(access_key) my question is what is "require 'amazon/search' " ?, It isnt defined in the book as far as I can see. The out program won't run without it. Thanks Brian
