How do I format a date to mm/dd/yyyy in Ruby?

Question

In Perl you can do:

my $current_time = DateTime->now();
my $mdy = $current_time->mdy(\"/\");

What\'s the easiest way to do this in Ru

I wrote a gem to help with formatting dates, and keeping your views DRY (not having to strftime every time you want to format dates).
