Here's the standard technique I usually use:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

def usage(s)
    $stderr.puts(s)
    $stderr.puts("Usage: #{File.basename($0)}: [-l <logfile] [-q] file ...")
    exit(2)
end

$quiet   = false
$logfile = nil

loop { case ARGV[0]
    when '-q': then  ARGV.shift; $quiet = true
    when '-l': then  ARGV.shift; $logfile = ARGV.shift
    when /^-/: then  usage("Unknown option: #{ARGV[0].inspect}")
    else break
end; }

# Program carries on here.
puts("quiet: #{$quiet} logfile: #{$logfile.inspect} args: #{ARGV.inspect}")
