Install rubygems if you haven't already; `sudo gem install mechanize`
should do the rest.

ux:/usr/perl # ruby myCode.rb

Feeling especially brave? Running new code as root while learning
a language could cause some, er, interesting side-effects

FWIW,

That's the problem, and the solution

You should be good to go once that's sorted.
