Simple: you're trying to require 'foo' from a directory that is not
the current one.

If both test.rb and foo.rb are located in the same directory, doing
"ruby path\to\test.rb" will not be able to find foo in the same path.

Now, if you CD into the directory test.rb and foo.rb are located,
require 'foo' will succeed, since the current directory is in the
$LOAD_PATH.

That helps?
