If I needed to create a new Rails app using an older version I used to just do:

rails _3.1.0_ new myapp

(So using the functionality in the bin wrapper that Rubygems automatically provides).

Since [the rails bin was removed from the rails gem](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/11fa70dd0903a75f2a507dd609ea640e8ec99373#bin/rails) on 3.2 I can no longer do this since older versions of railties don't provide the bin in the railties gem (which is the gem the Rubygem's wrapper will look in).
