  1. how to set working directory for irb?
  2. is there default or if not, could you share your own good coding
    practice where to put additional source files as:
    a) wsdl2ruby genereated files
    b) own classes, not controllers / not models / not views

I don’t think I have good practices, I lump stuff together in a
subversion directory called ruby/repository/, and make subdirs when I
feel like it. If I write something particularly re-useful I copy it
to site_ruby.

These I put into ~/lib/ruby and set env var RUBYLIB accordingly.

c) other source files

Wherever I need them. Sometimes with the files I need to process,
sometimes in a global experimental dir (for tesing out things). HTH
