Embedding Ruby in C++

Ruby is the interpreted scripting language for quick and easy object-oriented programming. It has many features to process text files and to do system management tasks (as in Perl). It is simple, straight-forward, extensible, and portable.
This class embeds the Ruby interpreter in a C++ application.

  RubyEval& ruby = *RubyEval::instance();

  ruby.eval("puts 'hello ruby'");

  assert( NUM2INT( ruby.eval("1+1") ) == 2 );

  assert(RubyEval::val2str(ruby.eval("'Regexp'.gsub(/x/, 'X')")) == "RegeXp");
