Subject: zsh and ruby functions

hi roobyfiends -

i am trying to get zshell to use some ruby scripts transparently but
running into problems.

in the ruby script i have:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

and yet:
[dc@metroid:~]$ type svnbatchmove.rb                              (12-24 09:43)
svnbatchmove.rb is a shell function

then running of course gives parse errors:

[dc@metroid:~]$ svnbatchmove.rb                                   (12-24 09:42)
svnbatchmove.rb:20: parse error near `puts'

how do i coerce zsh into recognizing this as ruby?

if i run the script directly (ie full path) it's fine...

i have this in my zshrc  to prep the ruby scripts as zsh functions -
is there another way to do this? i tried adding this dir to my path,
but unable to find the new funcs.

autoload ~/rpm/bin/rubyfuncs/*(:t)

but this gives:

[dc@metroid:~]$ which svnbatchmove.rb                             (12-24 10:02)
svnbatchmove.rb () {
	# undefined
	builtin autoload -X
}

is it only possible to extend zsh with other shell algebra gook?

i found a workaround by defining a shell function to call the ruby one...

svnba() {
	~dc/rpm/bin/shellfuncs/svnbatchmove.rb $*
}

but this is obviously duplicitious and duplicative ...

guess this maybe more of a zsh list thing but ... tips appreciated!
