Subject: Re: how to create singleton methods in script

The following code works but it's awfully ugly putting a method at the 
top of a script.  Is this really how I have to structure a script?

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'TimeKeeper'

public
  ## method to display messages regarding bad action (ie can't logout 
when on break)
  def display_bad_action(action)
    case action
   when 'break'
      return 'You are currently clocked in.  Your options are: out or 
break'
   else
      return 5
   end
  end

  ## create the TimeKeeper object
  time_keeper = TimeKeeper.new(ARGV)
  puts display_bad_action(time_keeper.action)
