Require just loads the file. You don't get a meaningful return value from it

If you've defined your method in a module then in order to call that method you 
need to include it in the current object (alternatively you could make it a 
module method and then call SomeModule.method_name)

You might do well to do a little reading on how method lookup, modules, 
inheritance etc work in ruby
