STDIN is the default, so it's optional. The double quotes are required
for interpolation to take place. If the variable name = 'Someone'

With double quotes
>> puts "Hello #{name}"
Hello Someone

With single quotes
>> puts 'Hello #{name}'
Hello #{name}

I think the problem is in the way you are running the script. What OS
are you running on and how are you invoking the script?
