Thanks, Florian. I thought there was I just couldn’t remember how it was
done.

Follow-up question… Do you have any idea if this sets a flag that can
be
accessed from Ruby code?

I’m working on a project that can be configured to omit GEM_PATH from
it’s
searches. I was thinking that maybe I could tap into this flag instead
of
using my own env variable.
