Well, if it's a program that you are going to run a lot, I'd suggest
a) saving it without the .rb extension, making it executable via "chmod +x 
<filename>" and moving it into a directory in your $PATH or
b) saving it with the .rb extension, making it executalbe and create a symlink 
in your $PATH that doesn't have the extension.
Then you can call it via "<programmname> <args>" from anywhere you want.
The latter is what I do.
