Easy code generation in Ruby

Hi,
I know how to dynamically create methods and classes in Ruby, but is
there anyway to save these methods to a file?

eg. I'm looking for something like this:
define_method_in_file("File.rb", :myMethod) do
  instance_variable_set(:@a, "myString")
end

to produce:
<File.rb>
def myMethod
  @a = "myString"
end

Thanks a lot for answering. I'm hoping there's something easier than
having to mess about with templates.
