Problem with 1.7.2 on Windows

Not sure where to report this, but I used the version from

http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/ruby/downloads/ruby-install.html

There is a problem with 1.7.2 as shown below. I downloaded the 1.6.7
version and it was fine with the same code. Seems to be Ruby problem
rather than the installer.

C:\apps\ZenWeb-2.11.0\ZenWeb>ruby -v

If I'm right

    content = text.split(/#{$\/}#{$\/}+/)

this can be written

      content = text.split(/#{$/}#{$/}+/)

after this correction, you must have a warning (and not an error) for the
following line

          $stderr.puts "xmp: #{something}\nTrace =\n#{$@.join(\"\n\")}
