I just upgraded my ruby installation from 1.8.2-15 to 1.8.4-20. Now  
when trying to run my application in Webrick, the login page croaks  
with a syntax error I cant figure out! It used to work fine with  
1.8.2-15! Here is a dump of the error. Any help will be highly  
appreciated

compile error

Could not find any Jan. I uninstalled 1.8.4.20 and went back to  
1.8.2.15 and everything just works fine. This is sort fo crazy. Thanks  
a ton for your reply.

I am really confused because of the error message.
