You're perfectly able to run something like that. See:


~> mkdir script
~> cat>script/runner
class SomeClassName
  def self.method_name(hash)
    p hash
  end
end
eval ARGV[0]

~> ruby script/runner "SomeClassName.method_name({:some_key_1 
=> 'some_value_1', :some_key_2 => 'some_value_2', :some_key_3 
=> 'some_value_3'})"
{:some_key_1=>"some_value_1", :some_key_2=>"some_value_2", :some_key_3=>"some_value_3"}

HTH,
