the standard libraries are good (i should hope)

or

(or whatever on you machine)

you will be suprised to find that many of them are quite short a easy to read.

try

  pstore.rb
  logger.rb
  open3.rb
  tempfile.rb
  singleton.rb
  ftools.rb

for some straight forward ones.  the advantage to studying these is that you
will also be able to find docs and examples from them, even if it's only by
searching clr.
