Thanks go to both you and David (who presented an identical solution shortl
after this). That is so effing cool! Refresh my memory again - why are
they making Perl 6? :stuck_out_tongue:

m = “TestClass”
require “#{m}”
t = eval “#{m}.new”

eval is evil

pigeon% cat TestClass.rb
class TestClass
end
pigeon%

pigeon% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
m = “TestClass”
require m
p Object.const_get(m).new
pigeon%

pigeon% b.rb
#TestClass:0x401af914
pigeon%

Hmmm… interesting cause-effect conundrum: Is there Perl because
there’s more than one way to do it, or is there “There’s More Than One
Way To Do It” because there’s Perl?
