Send last irb output to Windows clipboard

Ruby n00b here.

What I'd like to do is create a command that, when invoked, copies the last output of irb to the Windows clipboard. How do I do this?

gem install win32/clipboard

def copy_last_output
  Win32::Clipboard.set_data IRB.CurrentContext.last_value
end
