Subject: Loading a file without cluttering the global namespace

Hello,

I'm trying to build a module-mechanism in ruby so that I am able to load a
ruby-file without cluttering up the global namespace of the program.

For example I want to be able to load a ruby-file, search for methods in
it, possibly execute one of them and then "unload" the file. When I call
Kernel#load with wrap = true, everything of the new file is put into an
anonymous Module, but every other file loaded in the new file itself is
put into the global namespace again.

My questions:

Is it at all possible to prevent this? If so, how to do it?
Can I access the anonymous Module in an easy manner?
How to delete/undefine a class or a method?

Thanks in advance
