Subject: A question about require.

Hello,

I was wondering what is the best way to "re-require" a file in ruby. In 
my code, I have a function that looks like this:

   def LoadAndExecute
     require 'script_that_has_foo_in_it.rb'
     foo
   end

If I executre that function once, then modify the script_that_...rb and 
re-execute the LoadAndExecute function without stopping everything, the 
script file isn't reaquired and foo re-execute the old code. I have 
added the following line before require '...rb'

   $".delete "script_that_...rb"

and it works fine but I want to make sure that it's a valid way of doing 
"re-require".

Thankx,
Ben.
