You need to load the StringIO library:

irb(main):001:0> str = StringIO.new
NameError: uninitialized constant StringIO
from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> require ‘stringio’
=> true
irb(main):003:0> str = StringIO.new
=> #StringIO:0xb7ce6c6c
irb(main):004:0>

HTH,

You have to require the stringio library
require ‘stringio’
