alter ego
http://alter-ego.rubyforge.org/

Sometimes you want a single object to behave differently depending on what state it’s in. For instance, a traffic light has a different color depending on whether it is informing people that they should stop, slow down, or proceed. Or a user account object might behave differently depending on whether the account is in the “confirmed” state. AlterEgo can help you set up these state-based object “personalities”. AlterEgo will help you to define a set of valid states for your objects, and to define the allowable transitions between states. The real strength of AlterEgo, however, is in defining separate behaviors for each state that the object is in. Underneath the covers, AlterEgo will arrange for your object to delegate to a different state object depending on what state it is in. You can either explicitly define these state objects as classes, or use a concise DSL provided by AlterEgo.

A state machine plugin which allows each state to have different methods and behaviours.

AlterEgo is a Ruby implementation of the State pattern as described by the Gang of Four. It differs from other Ruby state machine libraries in that it focuses on providing polymorphic behavior based on object state.

better than hpricot ;)

Nokogiri parses and searches XML/HTML faster than Hpricot, and also has correctly implemented CSS3 selector support as well as XPath support.

nokogiri is (one of) the fastest ruby XML parser. Parses and searches XML and HTML, and supports xpath and CSS3 selectors.

different interpreter versions easily

You want to try out all of the different ruby interpreters and versions including different patchlevels, but you don't want to break what's working for you now. No time to waste?
