Assuming you mean the string value

  klass = "My::Namespace::Klass"

The answer is No. One has to do:

  klass = "Klass"
  @obj = My::Namespace.const_get(klass).new

The namespace issue is problematic. One alternative is in Ruby Facets:

  require 'facet/object/constant'

  klass == "My::Namespace::Klass"
  @obj = constant(klass).new
