Subject: Re: The interpreter path

Unfortunatelly, this will give me an interpreter found in the current PATH,
it will not be the right one if the interpreter has been invoked with an
absolute path that is not in PATH variable. I rather need the interpreter
path invoked to handle THIS particular code.

Thanks for suggestion anyway.

Gennady.

One way is:

Shell.new.find_system_command('ruby')

which returns the path as an object of class String.
