Subject: Passing variables to a required file

I want to pass about 10 variables to a "require"d file. My understanding
is that I need to use global variables. Is this correct?

I'm reluctant to change all the variables to global for fear of messing
up the methods in the script. I can of course define new global
variables equal to the local variable. Seems inelegant.

I guess my best option is to rework the require'd file as a method, but
my script is getting long and keeping the file separate makes sense,
particularly since it is creating the GUI, so is different from the
script function if I understand the MVC philosophy.

Is there a better way? FWIW I'm "require'ing a modified example.rb file
that is included in the Pashua app for creating a simple GUI for OS X.

Thanks for info

PS The example file as a

Config = <<EOS

<bunch of code>
EOS

I can't find EOS in Ruby on Rails or PickAxe, so maybe I'm missing
something in how it's used.
