Thanks for replying Gary and stefano

I have already tried to create an instance only to get the following 
error

NameError: uninitialized constant Test

This I assume is thrown because the interpreter cannot find the file. I 
ran the irb command from inside the folder containing this file. Doesn't 
irb see the file?

Addressing what steffano said, Well I have called the print_something 
method from inside the class's constructor. Should I not assume that 
when the file is run the class's constructor will be called and hence 
the method will be called.

Thanks
Venkat
