Subject: AWS CreateHit ruby code

Hi.
     I've been a C developer since 1988, I know zero about ruby and I
haven't been enjoying it so far. I have been handed some code.

???? My Question is has anyone every had any success with the Amazon
Mechanical Turk and the CreateHit(...) method....  ????

I have upgraded to ruby 1.9.with rvm, and building from source.
I have updated gems
I have installed bundler
I have bundled the required gems... if that is the correct term.
From what I can tell I have the most up to date version of ruby and
gems.

The code I was handed seems to be crashing with no method error in a
call from some gem to to some other gem code several levels deep. I have
dumped out the parameters to CreateHit() that the code passes and it all
looks valid. So from what I see it has little to nothing to do with the
application level code and something wrong in the gem itself(?)

output:

Got account balance: 10000.00
