Hello.

As Ruby in an ObjectOriented programming language, it's best not to 
create unbound methods, but to encapsulate them as class methods, and 
then you can just instantiate the class, and do all the work in the 
initialize method. Order of method declarations in class is not 
important (unless you use meta-programming tricks), so you can have your 
initializer at the top of the class.

If you don't want to do it like this, you can just write your main code 
in a separate method at the beginning of your script, and just call the 
method (one line) at the very bottom.

TPR.
