Neither ruby and nor irb can load .rb file in current directory

None of these worked for me, but this did:

irb -I .>require 'file' => true

ruby import require irb ruby-1.9.2

require './hede'

require_relative 'hede'

This works for me in both Ruby (1.9.3) and JRuby (1.7.x) on linux. I haven't tested it on windows.

ruby import require irb ruby-1.9.2

How about this command? A little cumbersome to write but really clean and it should always work:

➜ $ irb> require "#{Dir.pwd}/file_to_load.rb"=> true
