no-one?

basically i'm looking to translate the following php code into some sort of ruby shit

PHP Code:

<?php
    // Find include and base directory
    if(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR == '\\') {
        $fullpath = str_replace("\\", "/", __FILE__);
    } else {
        $fullpath = __FILE__;
    }
    
    $breadcrumb = explode("/", $fullpath);
    $filename = end($breadcrumb);
    $includes = substr($fullpath, 0, (-1 * strlen($filename)));
    $temp = strlen(prev($breadcrumb))+1;
    $base = substr($fullpath, strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']), (0 * strlen($filename) - $temp));
    unset($temp);
    
    $directory['base']    = substr($fullpath, strlen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']), (0 * strlen($filename) - $temp));
    $directory['include'] = substr($fullpath, 0, (-1 * strlen($filename)));
    $directory['images']   = $directory['base']."images/";
    $directory['css']     = $directory['base']."css/";
    $directory['script']  = $directory['base']."js/";
?>

or do any of you rails cats know a method which is already embedded in the framework?
