Is there something I need to require at the beginning of my code because 
I tried this when I googled the answer and it doesn't work. I think that 
only applies to Ruby on Rails.

Here are the first few lines of my code:

$defout.sync=true

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
require 'FileUtils'
require 'date'
require 'yaml'

$0 = "ProgramName"
