Ah, that answers my puzzle from a couple of days ago.

C:\WINDOWS>ruby -rsocket -e'puts IPSocket.getaddress(Socket.gethostname)'

.... gives nothing / no error msg.

C:\WINDOWS>ruby -rsocket -e 'puts IPSocket.getaddress(Socket.gethostname)'
213.249.173.103

.... OK.

Difference: a space after -e

Space after -r is optional, apparently.

I'll go and produce my "language stress graph" for this week ;)
