I have a bit of trouble understanding what it is you want to have
happen, especially since you specifically wish to avoid 1-liners.

Is "irb" (bundled with ruby) what you want?

Absent that, at the shell you can just run "ruby", type some ruby
code, then type
__END__
on a line by itself, (that's two underscores, then END, then two more
underscores) and the code will then run.

Is either of this what you wanted?
