Ruby - Sinatra build navigation from "pages" folder with ".each", what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to output the "pages" directory as navigation, please help =)

(from Ruby track, last part - Sinatra, the final lesson - from the teacher notes)

version 1

wiki.rb

def nav
d = Dir.new("pages")
d.each  {|x| puts "#{x}" }
end 

get "/" do
  Mackenzie Steele  = nav
  erb :welcome
end

welcome.erb

<ul>
<li><a href="/<%= Mackenzie Steele  %>"><%= @m %></a></li>
</ul>

version 2

wiki.rb

def nav
d = Dir.new("pages")
d.each  {|x| puts "<li><a href=\"/#{x}\">#{x}</a></li>" }
end 

get "/" do
  @m  = nav
  erb :welcome
end

welcome.erb

<ul>
    <%= @m %>
</ul>

What am I doing wrong?
