Subject: Strange gets problem

I'm new to Ruby so perhaps this is obvious to you but not to me.  Can  
anyone tell me what is wrong with my simple script below:

$ cat t.rb

#!/usr/bin/ruby

puts "Timer set to #{ARGV[0]} seconds.  Press <ENTER> to start the  
countdown."
gets


$ ./t.rb 60
Timer set to 60 seconds.  Press <ENTER> to start the countdown.
./t.rb:4:in `gets': No such file or directory - 60 (Errno::ENOENT)
         from ./t.rb:4

It seems to think the argument of 60 should be a file or  
directory...  ????

Thanks,

Ernest
