Thanks guys!

Okay. At least now the script runs...unsuccessfully, but it runs.

I had to add require 'rubygems' at the top because it wasn't recognizing 
'mysql'.

Now it's getting as far as line 11 (yea!!!)...
...where it craps out on this line.

borderDB = Mysql::new('localhost', 'root', 'proot', 'dbname')
(not my real proot, nor db name)

and it gives me:
../../Developer/usr/bin/gen_encpolygons.rb:11:in `new': Access denied 
for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (Mysql::Error)
  from ../../Developer/usr/bin/gen_encpolygons.rb:11:in 
`generate_js_border_overlay'
  from ../../Developer/usr/bin/gen_encpolygons.rb:95

(Yeah, I really need to fix my $PATH)

I've checked Mysql, and I don't have any problem connecting. Could it be 
a port issue? I'm running MAMP, and it uses a non-standard port (8889) 
for Mysql, but I haven't had any other problems connecting to it via 
Ruby on the command line.

Is this a Mysql issue, or a Ruby issue?

Thanks again for the help, and for putting up with a desperate noobie.

Best,
Micah
