How to get today's date in Ruby 1.9.3?

Question

I'm using Ruby 1.9.3, and when I execute Date.today, I get NoMethodError: undefined methodtoday' for Date:Class`

I'm pretty confused about this since it does appear to be in the documentation. Though I know this is the documentation for 2.0, but I see answers ranging back to when it was implemented in 1.8.7. Was this removed in 1.9?

Answer 1

Did you require 'date' ?
