Question about creating RubyGems package:

I want to include a shell script into bin/ directory.  
I tried to create and install my package. It was done successfully.  
But gem command cannot detect the shell script is not a ruby script.  
It means that '/usr/local/bin/myscript', for example, load a script  
'/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/myapp-0.0.1/bin/myscript' as  
Ruby script, and got error becasuse the latter is not ruby script  
but a shell script.

Give me some advice.
