Subject: Assertions Testing in irb

I am working through the Everyday Scripting With Ruby book and am trying
to run assertion tests in irb.

If I type in:
irb(main):005:0> require 'test/unit'
=> true
As you can see above it returns true.  I am assuming that this will load
the unit test methods in irb.  However, if I type in an assertion test
as follows:

irb(main):006:0>
assert_equal('2005-03-4',svn_date(Time.local(2005,3,4)))
NoMethodError: undefined method `assert_equal' for main:Object
        from (irb):6
        from :0

It fails as above.

I have also tried to use the load command as:

load "Test::Unit" but that does not seem to work either.  See below:

irb(main):008:0> load "Test::Unit"
LoadError: no such file to load -- Test::Unit
        from (irb):8:in `load'
        from (irb):8
        from :0

What do I need to do to get the assertion methods working in irb?

Thanks.
Bharat
