Rails - Jan 2007 - Syntax in calling function of acts_as_taggable_on_steroids

The function looks like this.
I don''t know what how I should fill in the parameters.
tl is an array of tags.


def find_tagged_with(tags, options = {})
          tags = Tag.parse(tags) if tags.is_a?(String)
          return [] if tags.empty?
          tags.map!(&:to_s)

          conditions = sanitize_sql([''tags.name in (?)'',
tags])
          conditions << "and
#{sanitize_sql(options.delete(:conditions))}" if options[:conditions]

          find(:all, { :select => "DISTINCT #{table_name}.*",
            :joins => "left outer join taggings on taggings.taggable_id
= #{table_name}.#{primary_key} and taggings.taggable_type =
''#{name}'' "
+
                      "left outer join tags on tags.id
taggings.tag_id",
            :conditions => conditions }.merge(options))
        end

        # Options:
        #  :start_at - Restrict the tags to those created after a
certain time
        #  :end_at - Restrict the tags to those created before a certain
time
        #  :conditions - A piece of SQL conditions to add to the query
        #  :limit - The maximum number of tags to return
        #  :order - A piece of SQL to order by. Eg ''tags.count
desc'' or
''taggings.created_at desc''
        #  :at_least - Exclude tags with a frequency less than the given
value
        #  :at_most - Exclude tags with a frequency greater then the
given value



and I tried the following syntax and got...
>> find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit =5})
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):40: odd number list for Hash
find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit =5})
                             ^
(irb):40: parse error, unexpected ''='', expecting
''}''
find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit =5})
                             ^
        from (irb):40
>> find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit 5})
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):41: odd number list for Hash
find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit 5})
                             ^
(irb):41: parse error, unexpected tINTEGER, expecting ''}''
find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit 5})
                             ^
        from (irb):41
>> find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit})
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):42: odd number list for Hash
find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit})
                            ^
        from (irb):42
>> find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit[5]})
SyntaxError: compile error
(irb):43: odd number list for Hash
find_tagged_with(tl,{:limit[5]})
                               ^
        from (irb):43

Anyone knows what''s the right syntax?

Any reference or suggestions are highly appreciated.

I think your first try was the closest. Try

  find_tagged_with tl, :limit => 5

This is short for
  find_tagged_with(tl, {:limit => 5})
