DL for Ruby 1.6.8?

ruby-talk

I tried to run a script I wrote in Ruby 1.8.2 under Ruby 1.6.8. But the
dl.so and associated files weren't found. I am assuming that DL didn't
come as part of the standard Ruby installation for 1.6.8. Is there a
place I can obtain it? If I could find a binary release for Windows
that'd be great...

I dont know when DL was introduced, but 1.6.8 came with WIN32API I do believe. You can achieve the same functionality with either for most intent and purposes

Please disregard. I found the shim package, which brought me up to
speed. Awesome!
