Subject: Difference in iconv between ruby and irb

Hi,

I have simple script:

require 'iconv'
s = '炎倶饉' # a few polish letters with accents
puts Iconv.iconv('ASCII//TRANSLIT', 'UTF-8', s)

I expect result like "aescnz".

I run "ruby myscript.rb" and the effect is "??????" - something went 
wrong with the transliteration.

The case is, that if I run irb and write the same code, effect is OK.


What should I import to my script or where is the difference between 
ruby interpreter and irb that makes it working in the second case?


Thanks in advance,
