I found a method to convert the keys that are string to symbols.  I
included the file in the lib directory but when I call it it says it
does not recognize the method.  Ideas?

class Hash
  # Recursively replace key names that should be symbols with symbols.
  def key_strings_to_symbols!
    r = Hash.new
    self.each_pair do |k,v|
      if ((k.kind_of? String) and k =~ /^:/)
        v.key_strings_to_symbols! if v.kind_of? Hash and
v.respond_to? :key_strings_to_symbols!
        r[k.slice(1..-1).to_sym] = v
      else
        v.key_strings_to_symbols! if v.kind_of? Hash and
v.respond_to? :key_strings_to_symbols!
        r[k] = v
      end
    end
    self.replace(r)
  end
end
