Thanks to all who responded!

Assign something open?  I don't understand.  I get a syntax error on 
that assignment:

bin/ruglyctl:132:in `require': 
/usr/www/apache/rugly/lib/rdb_rugly.rb:40: dynamic constant assignment 
(SyntaxError)
  STDERR = $stderr
          ^     from bin/ruglyctl:132:in `handle_db_cmdtype'
        from bin/ruglyctl:146
