I'm interested in the issue with using env, but I find you explanation a but hard to follow. What are some situations that lead to the problems you are describing. I'm currently using env in some gems and if there is a strong argument against it, I don't mind switching it.

That's a very worthy cause! :)

Okay, in that case might I suggest for you to build it up yourself with your own self reliance rather than asking questions.

Use IRB *a LOT*, and inspect the hell out of your variables and try to understand things really well. Before you do this process you're undertaking, you might want to read up about Ruby metaprogramming and understand it quite thoroughly at a low and deep level, because the level of questions you're asking are quite clearly outstripping your capability (otherwise you wouldn't have so many questions). Perhaps that's just exacerbated by the Struct class, I'm not sure.

A better way to do this *might* be to *write* some Ruby Koans for yourself and the community, and in the process, you'll be forced to clearly and cleanly understand why and how things do what they do.

I guess you're trying to understand the intent without truly understanding the language at a deep level.

The alternative is you could get and consume (thoroughly) the following books which I think are absolutely excellent. The Ruby Programming Language, The Ruby Way and The Well-Grounded Rubyist.

The reason I suggested real working code is that you need to engage your feelings in the process otherwise things just won't stick in your memory, and stories are more emotive than examples. Stories have more feeling, and real working code involves a story, whereas an example doesn't.

The other thing I'd suggest is to look at the ruby spec. This will give you an unfathomably deep understanding of ruby. IMHO.
