Hi, I’m running on windows, Ruby 1.9.1-p129-i386-mswin32.zip.

Trying to run gem install p4ruby gives an error:  
can’t convert Pathname into String

Running trace on rake shows that this is coming (among other places)  
from ftp.rb:679 and ftp.rb:547. They are still trying to use as  
Pathname as an implicit cast to string, but to\_str was removed from  
Pathname in 1.9.1. They can be fixed by just adding .to\_path or .to\_s  
to those two lines.

Is there a good place to submit this as a bug report?
