Subject: "require" in unit test not returning true or false

I have a test file in my project to test dependencies to ruby gems,
arranged like this:

class DependenciesTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

  def test_hpricot_should_exist
    actual = require 'hpricot'
    assert_equal(true, actual)
  end


... (more similar tests)

end # end class DependenciesTest


The documentation states that require should return true/false,  but
it does not --- at least not for me in this test :(

Result:
==================

  2) Failure:
test_hpricot_should_exist(DependenciesTest) [test/unit/
dependencies_test.rb:19]:
<true> expected but was
<[]>.


My questions:
* Why doesn't require return true?
* How should i form my dependencies test to make it work properly?


Thanks for any help and tips you can help me with!
