 See

   rb_load_protect(VALUE name, int wrap, int *state)

 if `wrap' is true, ruby will create an anonymous module and will load the
 script in it. For example

svg% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
def tt
   puts "tt"
end
svg% 

svg% ruby -e 'load("b.rb"); tt'
tt
svg%

 now in an anonymous module 

svg% ruby -e 'load("b.rb", true); tt'
-e:1: undefined local variable or method `tt' for main:Object (NameError)
svg%

 ruby don't really like system threads : try to avoid it if you can
