Ruby has:
a, built-in classes (e.g. Array, String, Time etc.)
b, standard library (organized in files and modules - e.g. date.rb)

Pickaxe has a chapter on the standard library and another one on the network
library. Unfortunately it is not complete (and situation became worse with
1.8). Anyway browsing Ruby directory is a good learning exercise.
