What Robert is saying is that is valid syntax for ruby 1.9, but not for 
ruby 1.8.

I don't know what "the textbook" and "the cookbook" are that you refer 
to, but they were probably written for 1.9.

ruby 1.9 is a substantially different language to ruby 1.8, which you 
probably wouldn't expect from the "minor" version bump.
