My ruby script and module script are in the same directory. I print the
$: variable and found the current directory "." is in there. But I
always get the error: no such file to load.
What is the problem?

Would help if you posted your code, but I'll hazard a guess. I usually
require files relative to the current one like this:
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/my_module'
The value of File.dirname(__FILE__) is always the path of the directory
containing the currently executing file.

Are you executing the script from the same directory? Having "." in RUBY_PATH only means that your "current" directory will be checked, not the one actually hosting the script.
If you are in "/tmp" and you have "/usr/local/lib/ruby:." in RUBY_PATH (aka $:) then, with bar.rb/foo.rb in $HOME
require "foo"
will make Ruby looking in "/usr/local/lib/ruby" and "/tmp", not in $HOME.
What you want is something like the following:
BASE_DIR = File.dirname(File.expand_path($0))
$: << BASE_DIR
require "foo"
