How can I make a program in Ruby to encode a string? - gimzy.H-O - Jul 13, 2013

I am learning Ruby (Started two nights ago, doing about 20 mins a night) but I want to make a program that simply encodes a string, yet I have no idea how. Preferably encode in base64.

Just needs to be as simple as

Code 
puts "String to encode:"

enc = gets.chomp

#Whatever I need here to encode string

Thanks a bunch :3
