It allows one to experiment with different ruby version w/out affecting the dependent software. It's also very useful in the production as well, where you often need to run different software backed by different ruby vm's. That's exactly why I impelemented this mechanizm when importing ruby 1.9 (which reminds me that I need to add rubinius support as an alternative VM as well). -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
