Rails + require returns [] ??

All,

   I have a rails controller that is requiring a ruby file

   ie

   res = require 'blee'    p res.inspect # <= ??

   class FredController < ApplicationController       ....    end

   Printing the return value of the require, I was expecting to see true or false whether    the required ruby file was previously loaded or not. Instead it seems to always return an array.

   On the first load an array with the module name for blee and on reload an empty array...

   As anyone experienced this before ?

Thanks !!
