If it's just for a script on a *nix / mac machine then you can put this in
on the first line of the file.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

then chmod it so that it's executable and put it into a directory that's
picked up in the PATH env variable.  Then it'll be avaialble just like any
other command on your system.

Is this what you meant?
