So I ran your code.  I notice that client.connect returns a separate thread,
so creating your own event/thread with EM shouldn't be needed.


take a look at the documentation:
http://net-toc.rubyforge.org/doc/classes/Net/TOC/Client.html#M000012

 wait(limit=nil)
<http://net-toc.rubyforge.org/doc/classes/Net/TOC/Client.src/M000012.html>

Waits for the event-handling thread for limit seconds, or indefinitely if no
argument is given. Use this to prevent your program from exiting
prematurely...


I haven't been able to get a ruby script to connect, and doing it in IRB
works for me, too.  I think using client.wait (instead of sleep) is going in
the right direction.  I did a "puts client.buddy_list" in the client, which
reported back my buddy list.  However, doing this in the script printed out
an empty line, so it looks like the connection isn't completing.  You may
want to try playing with this some more--hope this helps
