some questions when i installed Mechanize in ruby

I was on ubuntu 12.04 with ruby 1.8.7 and rubygem 1.8.15

First ,I type in sudo gem install mechanize --no-ri --no-rdoc

It seems working well.

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Fetching: ntlm-http-0.1.1.gem (100%)
WARNING: ntlm-http-0.1.1 has an invalid nil value for @cert_chain
Fetching: webrobots-0.0.13.gem (100%)
Fetching: unf_ext-0.0.5.gem (100%)
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
Fetching: unf-0.0.5.gem (100%)
Fetching: domain_name-0.5.4.gem (100%)
Fetching: mechanize-2.5.1.gem (100%)
Successfully installed nokogiri-1.5.5
Successfully installed ntlm-http-0.1.1

Successfully installed unf_ext-0.0.5
Successfully installed unf-0.0.5
Successfully installed domain_name-0.5.4
Successfully installed mechanize-2.5.1
7 gems installed

Then I wrote my first program 

require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'

agent = Mechanize.new

It just doesn't work

./mechanize.rb uninitialized constant Mechanize (NameError)
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in        gem_original_require'
    from /usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
    from mechanize.rb:2

Could someone help me ?

Rename your file to 'mechanize-test.rb' or something to avoid confusion with the library. It looks like 1.8's require is behaving strangely.
