Override's some Ruby classes to add methods making for uniform calls. For example, :to_bool is common to Nil, nil, TrueClass, FalseClass, String, Float, Date, ActiveRecord::Associations::HasOneAssociation and ActiveRecord::Associations::HasManyAssociation. There are a few compatibility features bridging the gaps between ruby1.8 and ruby1.9 as well. With the modification of String to Enumerable in ruby1.9, methods have been added so that you can grep and itterate over each line, in all ruby versions. Code is self explanatory, for other aspects.

PluginFactory is a mixin module that turns an including class into a factory for its derivatives, capable of searching for and loading them by name. This is useful when you have an abstract base class which defines an interface and basic functionality for a part of a larger system, and a collection of subclasses which implement the interface for different underlying functionality. An example of where this might be useful is in a program which talks to a database. To avoid coupling it to a specific database, you use a Driver class which encapsulates your program's interaction with the database behind a useful interface. Now you can create a concrete implementation of the Driver class for each kind of database you wish to talk to. If you make the base Driver class a PluginFactory, too, you can add new drivers simply by dropping them in a directory and using the Driver's `create` method to instantiate them:

Plumbing is a simple Gem that allows the execution of an arbitrary system command, & subsequent two-way interaction with the forked process by pipes.

Ply is a ruby gem for reading Stanford PLY-format 3D model files. The PLY file format is a flexible format for storing semi-structured binary data, and is often used to stored polygonalized 3D models generated with range scanning hardware. You can find some examples of the format at the {Stanford 3D Scanning Repository}[http://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/]. Ply provides a simple API for quick access to the data in a PLY file (including examining the structure of a particular file's content), and an almost-as-simple event-driven API which can be used to process extremely large ply files in a streaming fashion, without needing to keep the full dataset represented in the file in memory. Ply handles all three types of PLY files (ascii, binary-big-endian and binary-little-endian). If you don't have any Stanford PLY files on hand, you probably don't need this gem, but if you're curious, the PLY file format is described at Wikipedia[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLY_(file_format)].

Based on the Perl tool 'ack' by Andy Lester. Examples with similar grep: $ rak pattern $ grep pattern $(find . | grep -v .svn) $ rak --ruby pattern $ grep pattern $(find . -name '*.rb' | grep -v .svn) == FEATURES/PROBLEMS: * Ruby regular expression syntax (uses oniguruma gem if installed). * Highlighted output. * Automatically recurses down the current directory or any given directories. * Skips version control directories, backups like '~' and '#' and your * ruby project's pkg directory. * Allows inclusion and exclusion of files based on types. * Many options similar to grep.

Net::LDAP for Ruby (also called net-ldap) implements client access for the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), an IETF standard protocol for accessing distributed directory services. Net::LDAP is written completely in Ruby with no external dependencies. It supports most LDAP client features and a subset of server features as well. Net::LDAP has been tested against modern popular LDAP servers including OpenLDAP and Active Directory. The current release is mostly compliant with earlier versions of the IETF LDAP RFCs (2251–2256, 2829–2830, 3377, and 3771). Our roadmap for Net::LDAP 1.0 is to gain full <em>client</em> compliance with the most recent LDAP RFCs (4510–4519, plutions of 4520–4532).
