Creating a years <select> element: Is there a better way to do this?

collect.rb

#
# ERB
#
#   <% years = (Date.today.year..Date.today.year + 12).collect %>
#   <%= f.select(
#     'ccexpy',
#     years.zip(years.collect {|y| y.to_s[-2,2]}),
#     {},
#     { :class => "expirydate" }
#   ) %>


#
# EXPECTED VALUE OF years:
#
#   [
#     [2011, "11"],
#     [2012, "12"],
#     [2013, "13"],
#     [2014, "14"],
#     [2015, "15"],
#     [2016, "16"],
#     [2017, "17"],
#     [2018, "18"],
#     [2019, "19"],
#     [2020, "20"],
#     [2021, "21"]
#   ]


#
# Pure Ruby example (no ERB)
#

years = (Time.now.year..Time.now.year + 12).collect
p years.zip(years.collect {|y| y.to_s[-2,2]})

Oh, I didn't inspect the first line carefully. Well, somewhat nicer is:

yr = Time.now.year
(yr..yr+12).collect { |y| [y, y.to_s[2,2]] }
