Rake problem

Rake (0.4.11) seems to add a whole bunch of new methods to Object. Why is
this?

irb(main):004:0> diff = m2 - m1
=> ["cmp", "getwd", "cd", "ruby", "nowrite", "rm", "touch", "split_all",
"rmtree", "remove_file", "c
opy_stream", "safe_unlink", "compare_stream", "pwd", "link", "remove",
"mkpath", "when_writing", "ln
_s", "uptodate?", "chmod", "rm_f", "safe_ln", "copy_file", "rm_r",
"symlink", "sh", "mv", "mkdir_p",
"compare_file", "ln_sf", "identical?", "verbose", "makedirs", "mkdir",
"cp_r", "copy", "cp", "remov
e_dir", "chdir", "rmdir", "move", "ln", "rm_rf", "install"]

In my case, this causes application failure as soon as I require one of my
files into the rakefile.

Help? Thanks!

Because 90% (a statistic I just made up) of Rake usage deals with the creation
and management of files, Rake will include the FileUtils module at top level.

In my case, this causes application failure as soon as I require one of my
files into the rakefile.

I'm not clear why this is causing you problems. Can you send me an example?

Thanks.
