Make program.rb executable and set the shebang line correctly? E.g:

[alexg@powerbook]/Users/alexg(7): cat hi.rb
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
puts 'hi'
[alexg@powerbook]/Users/alexg(8): ruby hi.rb
hi
[alexg@powerbook]/Users/alexg(9): ./hi.rb
tcsh: ./hi.rb: Permission denied.
[alexg@powerbook]/Users/alexg(10): chmod u+x hi.rb
[alexg@powerbook]/Users/alexg(11): ./hi.rb
hi

Not sure about your friends hint. At first I thought they were the  
octal chmod strings for making files executable, but unless I'm  
missing something they don't seem to be...
