 Do you have an un*x background ? :-)

 If not try

  if Module.public_methods.include? "test" then puts "test is public"
  else puts "test is not public"
  end

 This is the public method Module#test

 Now try :

pigeon% ruby -e 'p "OK" if test ?r, "ruby"'
"OK"
pigeon% 

 This is the *private* method Kernel#test
