Guys, why not simply use the ruby interpreter.

run ruby.
type your short script in
press ctrl-d (and enter and windows)
and your script executes.

Even better, if you make a mistake early on, ruby drops out with the 
parse error. (okay a hassle if you are typing something big in, but then 
you should be using files or irb)
