ruby file info and processing module

Is there a ruby module that handles things like file, creation date,  
attributes, etc?

I need something that can scan a directory for a filespec and return  
the attributes in an array or hash

I am sure there is one there, but I don’t know the name.

You want a combination of File, FileUtils, Find and Dir.
