Probably best just to look at some code which uses it. Net::HTTPS would 
be a good start for a TLS client. For TLS server, I did some 
reverse-engineering to build ruby-ldapserver, and now I use that as my 
reference implementation :-)

Depends what you want to do.

ruby's ext/openssl is just a thin wrapper around the openssl library. If 
you want to do things like open and accept TLS sessions, it's your main 
option. I don't know if alternatives like GNU-TLS have been wrapped for 
ruby.

However, if you want to do things like symmetric encryption, there are 
quite a few other libraries.
