Subject: In which order are files looked for when loaded/requierd - and what's the order of suffixes?

Hi all,

when I

     require 'whatever'

or

     load 'something_else'

how can I tell in which order the directories are searched for the file 
in question? And what's the order fo suffixes to the file ( .rb, .so, ...)?

Is the directory order the order of the entries in $: (or $LOAD_PATH 
which I tend to prefer after requiring 'English')?
Hmm, probably not, since '.' is the last entry in the current $: (which 
I didn't change)

Thanks for any input and happy rubying!

Stephan
