Run multiple commands in same process in Ruby

How can I run multiple commands in the same process in Ruby? For example, I should be able to run the command set TEMP=T on Windows and when ran the command echo %TEMP% later get a result of T. The solution should be system independent.

Open a shell subprocess with popen, and save the handle. Run all your commands in this shell. You can have it as a singleton, if it should be accessible from anywhere within the program.
