Ruby is more similar to Python in loading files.  It loads files, with
relative paths in the site_lib directory.  The files can contain
multiple classes which don't need to be named like the file. 
Unfortunately, like Python, there is no relation between the files
installed and how they are distributed.

This is different than Perl where almost every class goes in a file
named after the class.  And most modern modules are named after the
primary class.
