Background: After taking time to reflect on the answers to a question I asked just yesterday regarding which web-focussed language to learn for a beginner (link) I decided that I would most likely pursue learning Ruby/Rails (since I had already made it 1/3 of the way through a book on it about a year ago and felt like I was able to under...

I get numerous "method redefined" warnings while running an application under Merb 0.9.3. Of course, I get this only when I run my script using the ruby -w option.

I find myself adding fe...
