There are two Ruby idioms that you may prefer to this.

1. File.open with a block:

globalXML = nil
File.open("xml/global.xml") do |f|
  globalXML = REXML::Document.new(f)
end

This implicitly closes the file at the end of the
block.

2. File.read:

globalXML =
REXML::Document.new(File.read("xml/global.xml"))
<<

Thanks for the tips! File.read, this will be ideal for
me!
