# File 1

class A
  def x; end
  def y; end
  def z; end
  def A.run(args); end
end

if __FILE__ == $0
  A.run(ARGV)
end


# File 2

require 'File 1'

class B
  def x; end
  def y; end
  def z; end
  def B.run(args); end
end

if __FILE__ == $0
  B.run(ARGV)
end


Although my simple scripts generally begin life as a bunch of top-level
methods and so on, they usually evolve to an "application" class.  It's
just easier to arrange things that way I find.
