Marshal version problem

ruby-talk
1

I have a script that generates a serialized file of native data
structures (hash of hashes & arrays and such).

In a short spike script I wanted to load up a particular file, and got a
version error:
     incompatible marshal file format (can't be read) (TypeError)
     format version 4.8 required; 47.85 given

Both scripts invoke the same ruby instance on my system (OS X)
     #! /usr/local/bin/ruby

printing RUBY_VERSION at the top of both scripts yields 1.8.6 in both.

wassup widdat?

You're not loading a Marshal file, you're loading a file that starts with "/U"

Bah. Duh, I was giving load() a file path instead of the file data.

Thx.
