It's pretty bad Perl, so here it is translated into pretty bad Ruby...

def load_server_list
    filename = "serverlist.txt"
    file = open(filename, "r")
    servers = []
    while line = file.gets
        line.chop!
        next unless line =~ /\S/
        next if line =~ /^#/
        servers << line
    end
    file.close
    return servers
end
