Sorry, I  said "ruby" when I really meant "gems":

C:\Documents and Settings\Logan>type mechanize.rb
puts "I am not the real mechanize"

C:\Documents and Settings\Logan>gem list mechanize

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

mechanize (0.6.4)
    Mechanize provides automated web-browsing

C:\Documents and Settings\Logan>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> require 'mechanize'
I am not the real mechanize
=> true

This is because rubygems rescues LoadError to install its magic IIRC. If
ruby can find the lib without gem's help, the path to the gem never gets
added to $LOAD_PATH
