In fact, it only visible in the current file but it's not visible in the 
exec_my_bin() function and I don't want to write:

def exec_my_bin()
`#{Pathname.new(__FILE__).realpath.dirname + 'bin/mybin'}`
end

Also I don't want to use a global variable, which I think is a bad idea 
since I don't want to use it in another file.

Thanks
