This might be a good thing to encapsulate somehow; perl has a construct 
like so:

require 5;

which requires that the version of perl running the script be >= 5. 
(IIRC, you can "require" arbitrary levels, like ``require 5.0.1;'', but 
I might be mistaken on that.)

Given ruby is changing in fairly large chunks, this might be useful.
