You can do this by using define_method in the context of the
singleton class of a class:
class << aClass
define_method .....
end
In Ruby, we prefer to call this a "class method". We don't use
the term "static method".

There are no static methods, there are only instance methods.
But as about everything in Ruby is an Object, so is the class of your
object and so is the singleton class of your object, maybe the
following tricks are what you are looking for:
707/475 > cat class.rb && ruby class.rb
# vim: sts=2 sw=2 tw=0 expandtab nu:
class A
define_method :one do |p| "one(#{p})" end
class << self
define_method :two do |p| "two(#{p})" end
end
eval 'def self.three p ; "three(#{p})" end'
end
puts A.new.one(42)
puts A.two(42)
puts A.three(42)
one(42)
two(42)
three(42)
Sorry for the double post Erik but I was not about to discard all that
hard work
Please note the ugliness of the eval for :three but it gets the job done.
Personally I almost always use the singleton class method definition
even when declaring statically, but I believe that it is not *exactly*
the same thing.
