I'm starting to develop some larger Ruby scripts, and they get messy very fast. =C2=A0Once I define many functions at the top of the script, the= n
start the coding, I have an unwieldy mess.

How do you guys handle this in terms of organization and neatness?
Using multiple files and issuing system commands to run the external
Ruby files seem kinda dumb. =C2=A0I also am not aware of commands to use external function files (although I'm still a relative newbie).

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
