I have written a script that requires 'hpricot'. I use mswin32 versions

It runs without issuing any warnings when using hpricot 0.4, 0.4.43,
0.4.52, 0.4.59

With newer versions of hpricot it issues the following warning.

0.4.76
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/hpricot-0.4.76-mswin32/lib/hpricot/tag.rb:34:

# obtain the filename of the html file to process

basename = File.basename(input_file, 'htm')
output_file = basename + 'csv'

__END__
the rest of the code snipped since it does not cause the warning to be
issued.

I believe that this demonstrates a bug in hpricot rather than in my
code.  I did try to post a bug report on code.whytheluckystiff.net
webpage. However I do not have an account.

Please forward to the appropriate destination.
