How do I use a Ruby script to add method to delayed job

I have a rubyscript in /myapp/scripts/myscript.rb

when i run ruby script/myscript.rb it executes fine, but how do I run this method with delayed job from within a ruby script? Hope this makes sense

---myscript.rb---

ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = ARGV.first || ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development'
require File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment")

def populate

    #do some stuff here

end
handle_asynchronously :populate

I get a undefined method 'handle_asynchronously' error

I think handle_asynchronously works only on methods and not on top-level functions. Maybe you can declare a module like this: 

# scripts/myscript.rb
class Tasks
  def populate
    puts "Populating..."
  end
  handle_asynchronously :populate
end
# call it in some function
def my_user_task
  Tasks.new.populate
end
