OpenSSL and ruby

(Posted this to the rails group, then realized here was better...)

I found a couple of references on the web to ruby 1.9 having a pop
library that supported OpenSSL - something I need in order to
retrieve gmail. I don't have the capability here to build from scratch
(and being a newbie have never tried...) so i downloaded the 1.9
version from
http://www.garbagecollect.jp/ruby/mswin32/en/download/develop.html.

When I run a test script, I get a wrong number of args error message
for Net::POP3.start, which makes me think I still do not have the
right version (1.8 version takes 5 args, ssl version appears to take
8).

Is there another location to get the 1.9 version for windows, or is
there a lib file that I can use under 1.8 to get this working?

TIA,
Keith
