using methods in /lib while in script/console session

While I'm in a script/console session I want access to methods I've defined in a utilities unit I've put in the project/lib directory. I've tried requiring the unit and loading the unit but still don't get the methods. What's the technique to use in this case?

Put them into a module. For instance, I have lib/image_handler.rb.   module ImageHandler      def self.foo        puts 'foo'      end      class Image        ...      end      ....   end

$ script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2)

ImageHandler

=> ImageHandler

ImageHandler::Image

=> ImageHandler::Image

ImageHandler.foo

=> "foo"
