Hello all,

What does the return value of a require statement supposed to indicate?  My
understanding was that 'true' meant the required library got properly
loaded.

When I open a new IRB session and type, say, "require 'builder'" I get a
false returned.

require 'builder''
=3D> false

However, it appears that the statement does in fact load the library (the
new classes in the library become available, etc).  Why is the statement
returning false (or how can I diagnose why) and is it something to be
concerned over?
