__FILE__ gives you the path it was called with, if your Ruby script is
in the current working directory it will return =E2=80=9C./foo.rb=E2=80=9D =
if it is in
/usr/local/bin __FILE__ will be =E2=80=9C/usr/local/bin/foo.rb=E2=80=9D. If=
 you want
the full path instead of =E2=80=9C./=E2=80=9D Dir.getwd should work.
