Thanks for the quick answer. But I will agree with the docs that it is
certainly confusing for the new user like myself in an irb session.

You have done nothing wrong. There is no problem. If there were an
error, require would have thrown an exception. See
http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/19#page100 for more details.

Take heart! Here's the result with the most recent CVS version of
RubyGems:

  $ irb
  irb(main):001:0> require 'pdf/writer'
  => true
  irb(main):002:0>

...take heart as well for PDF::Writer: it's developed on a Windows box.
