Maybe better:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

bytes=chars=words=lines=0

STDIN.read.each_line { |l|
	lines+=1
	bytes+=l.split(//).size
	chars+=l.split(//u).size
	words+=l.split(/ +/).size
}

puts("Bytes:      #{bytes}")
puts("Characters: #{chars}")
puts("Words:      #{words}")
puts("Lines:      #{lines}")

One could output it much more prettier ;)
