I would like to put a large variable definition in a separate file for the sake of getting it out of the way. I must be doing something wrong though, because my puts call isn't putting anything out.

my_class.rb:

class foobar
  def initialize
    require 'datafile.rb'
    puts @fat_data
  end
end

datafile.rb:

@fat_data = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

Can you use require this way?
