Test ruby after installation

Sounds silly and obvious, But if we miss to run './rubytest' after installing ruby(any software, especially from source) we might land in big trouble. We might get the feeling that it got installed correctly but it may not. A random check in irb could show something like "123.12".to_f => 123123.0 Which is wrong, But ruby was installed fine.

I got the tests ran successfully later and "123.12".to_f gave me 123.12.

Ruby thoughts ... !!! Modules and Super classes

Ruby Consider Modules as super classes [Internally]. But My confusion is that there can be many modules either included or extended to a class where as only one Parent class is allowed [as in java] in Ruby... ? why.

Some thing to do with the meta class and the super pointers ..?

Ruby thoughts ... !!! Modules and Classes

Actually... the Module class of module is the superclass of the Class class of class. Got that? No? - good Now you have a reason to spent some time on Ruby :)
