Subject: *arr question 1.67 - 1.68 version difference

Hi,

on a machine running ruby 1.6.7 I get this error message when trying to run: 

[~]$ /qa/cadqa/dev/bin/grid_acct.rb
/qa/cadqa/dev/bin/grid_acct.rb:53:in `mktime': no implicit conversion
from string (TypeError)
        from /qa/cadqa/dev/bin/grid_acct.rb:53:in `ascset'
        from /qa/cadqa/dev/bin/grid_acct.rb:64:in `readStamp'
        from /qa/cadqa/dev/bin/grid_acct.rb:79:in `initialize'
        from /qa/cadqa/dev/bin/grid_acct.rb:130:in `new'
        from /qa/cadqa/dev/bin/grid_acct.rb:130

[~]$ ruby -v
ruby 1.6.7 (2002-03-19) [i386-linux]


However, on a machine running ruby 1.6.8 I don't.  Is this a version
difference which is causing this? The code for the function is below:


     48 class Time
     49   def Time.ascset(str)
     50      require 'parsedate'
     51      time = ParseDate.parsedate str
     52      time.pop; # we don't want this last arg
     53      mktime(*time)
     54   end


How can I get the same functionality in 1.6.7 if that is the issue?
