Subject: method by string ?

I'm creating a program which uses a ruby source file as config
file.

I don't know which methods are defined in this config file.

The problem I have is that I would like to run a method with the same
name as a string.

Example:
This is the config file

class Main
    def test1
        puts 'test1'
    end

    def test2
        puts 'test2'
    end
end
   

This is the main source:

$method = "test1"
$mode = Main.new

# this ofcours doesn't work:
$mode.$method

How should I do this?
