Subject: Accessing variables when loading a file to irb

Hi
I'm new to Ruby. Coming from Perl I really do enjoy the syntax and...
irb.

When I load a file, classes are loaded but not the variables set in the
file.

My file ends like that :

fields = Set.new
bibfile.each do | entry |
  entry.properties.keys.each do | field |
    fields << field
  end
end

p fields

After load, irb prints the value of fields but the variable is not in
scope :

>> load 'bibtest.2.rb'
#<Set: {:booktitle, :volume, :pages, :issn, :note, :ps, :number,
:author, :custom, :year, :title, :journal}>
=> true
>> fields
NameError: undefined local variable or method `fields' for main:Object

Thanks in advance for any hints
