Contrary to my expectations, if I have some variabl=

to have it sourced. Instead, I found myself having =
to do this:

    IO.foreach(rcfile) do |line|
	eval line
    end

which seems lame. Is there a better way?

#test1.rb:

@a =3D 5
@b =3D 4

require 'test2'

p @a
p @b
p @c

#----8<-----

#test2.rb:

@b =3D 3
@c =3D 2

$ ruby test1.rb
5
3
2
$

Or am I missing something?
