Whats are the respective Ruby versions? Time.today exists on 1.8.7, but not 1.9.1 (or 1.8.6 to my knowledge)
You can do something like this (utilizing a Rails time method):
class Time def self.today Time.now.beginning_of_day end end
Time.today
=> Mon Aug 31 00:00:00 +1200 2009

Time has no today method, today is a Date method added by rails, as in Date.today.
The method that looks like the same in time is Time.now.
Date.today is part of Ruby standard library (not added by Rails).

Hi, here’s my results for the various Ruby implementations:
Ruby 1.8.6:
Time.now
=> Sun Aug 30 13:49:32 -0700 2009
Time.today
NoMethodError: undefined method `today’ for Time:Class
from (irb):2
Date.today
=> Sun, 30 Aug 2009
quit
Ruby 1.8.7:
Time.now
=> 2009-08-30 13:51:31 -0700
Time.today
NoMethodError: undefined method `today’ for Time:Class
from (irb):2
from /opt/local/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
quit
Ruby 1.9.1:
Time.now
=> 2009-08-30 13:54:31 -0700
Time.today
NoMethodError: undefined method `today’ for Time:Class
from (irb):2
from /opt/local/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
quit
Good luck,

What does the RUBY_VERSION say?
It looks like you accidentally ran the wrong IRB when testing this out, as your Ruby "1.8.7" and 1.9.1 are both the same executable (/opt/ local/bin/irb).
But Keiran's suggestion isn't bad, might want to work a method_defined? in with that though.
Hi, it’s actually two different machines.

And this is me speaking apparently too soon
irb(main):006:0> RUBY_VERSION => "1.8.7" irb(main):007:0> Time.today NoMethodError: undefined method `today' for Time:Class from (irb):7 irb(main):008:0>
RUBY_VERSION
=> "1.8.7"
Time.today
=> Sun Aug 30 00:00:00 -0400 2009
So a gem must be adding this somewhere, I'm too lazy to look where right now though
As someone told me before, I need to Google more :\
