Subject: Anonymous module undefined method error

Hi all

I am new to Ruby so please excuse my question.  I did search
usenet for an answer but couldn't find one:

I have a variable, data, that was read from a file and has the
following contents:

def foo
  return "foo"
end

My code is this:

amodule = Module.new
amodule.class_eval(data)

puts(amodule.public_instance_methods)     -> outputs "foo"

amodule.foo                               -> fails saying method is
undefined


If I change data to have a class in it with a class method, I can
call it just fine like so:

amodule::Test.foo

Any help very much appreciated.

John.
