Subject: Rubyscript2exe error

C:\>rubyscript2exe effluent.rb
Tracing effluent ...
Gathering files...
Copying files...
Creating effluent.exe ...

C:\>effluent
Error message:  is not a class/module

the being executed is:-
require 'dbi'
# check if this exists - and if so then the ruby2exe script is
satisfied and we can exit
# must be placed after the require statements
exit if defined?(REQUIRE2LIB)

# Open the connection to the database and get the handle
def doConnection
    begin
      dbh = DBI.connect('DBI:Oracle:tpdev', 'username', 'pwd');
    rescue
      puts "Error message: #{$!}"
    end
    return dbh  # could be nil if failed to connect
end

dbh = doConnection

The twist is.. that if I run
c:\ruby effluent.rb
.... then the program runs and connects to the database
Why?
