What happens when you run this command:

$ gem list --local

In summary, you don't. Read the documentation/examples, or look at what
files the gem contains and make an educated guess as to the one which
you should require.

This seems to be one area (of many) where Perl's CPAN is superior. The
naming is consistent. The package xml-simple-x.xx will contain the
module XML::Simple. This will physically exist in the file XML/
Simple.pm. In your code you know to 'use XML::Simple;'

Of course, with Perl's austere naming conventions, you tend not to get
colorful package names like Cucumber, for better or worse. (Though I
just noticed a perl port of it with the module name Test::Cucumber
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-Cucum...)
