I’m running ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0)

I had written a script previously that used Net::HTTP::Options, but now  
after upgrading ruby my script no longer works.

undefined method `options’ for #\<Net::HTTP

from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:324:in `start’

I looked online at [RDoc Documentation](http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/) and the documentation  
is  
still there, so I proceeded to search all the forums on [ruby-forum.com](http://ruby-forum.com)  
to no  
avail. No mention of the removal of this method or anything else of  
use.

I really like ruby’s core functionality and syntax, but after the large  
amount of documentation issues I have run into I foresee myself having  
to  
switch over to python or perl after I finish my current project. It  
really  
troubles me to do this after how much time and money I’ve invested into  
educating my self on this language. Why so much hype, and so many books  
produced when the language isn’t being maintained? Am I missing  
something  
here? I hope that this forum can point me in the right direction to  
save me  
from resorting to a language migration.
