I think using Kernel.open will correct it. Sometimes being more explicit  
is good… Let’s all cheer for Python 😉

Using Kernel.open did not correct this problem. I believe  
it is a bug. Should I post this elswhere? Try the code in the original  
post. It’s easy to reproduce.

There was bug in taskscheduer module and fixed in CVS.  
Refer to  
[http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/win32utils-devel/2006-March/000525.html](http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/win32utils-devel/2006-March/000525.html)  
Try CVS version.

How do I get the updated .so file? I got the cvs taskscheduler.c,  
taskscheduler.h and taskscheduler.rb but I don’t understand how to build  
a .so file.

Taskscheduler works fine for me. It’s only when I require like this:

require ‘open-uri’  
require ‘fileutils’  
require ‘tempfile’  
require ‘win32/taskscheduler’

Or like this:

require ‘open-uri’  
require ‘fileutils’  
#require ‘tempfile’  
require ‘win32/taskscheduler’

When I require taskscheduler alone, it works fine.
