Well, maybe that's overkill. This simple script is as good...  ;-)

#v+
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

@exec = []
@lines = []
@lines << $_.chomp while gets

@lines.reverse.each do |line|
  unless line =~ /^-- $/
    @exec << line
  else
    @exec.reverse!
    ruby = IO.popen("ruby", "w+")
    @exec.each { |s|  ruby.puts s }
    ruby.puts "__END__"
    ruby.each  { |o|  puts o }
    ruby.close
  end
end
