Question
In irb I am trying Date.today and it fails.
I was originally trying to do:
Date.today.strftime "%b %d, '%y"
Solution
How does it fail? Does it fail like this?
phrogz$ irb
> Date.today
NameError: uninitialized constant Object::Date
from (irb):1
from /usr/local/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
> require 'date'
#=> true
> Date.today
#=> #<Date: 2010-12-05 (4911071/2,0,2299161)>
If so, there's your answer. (If not, then provide more details and we'll move forward from there.)
