Subject: Re: Module that keeps track of instance count?

This works for me:

module InstanceCounter

   def increase_count( type_name )
      @@instance_counter ||= Hash.new
      @@instance_counter[type_name] ||= 0
      @@instance_counter[type_name] += 1
      return @@instance_counter[type_name] - 1
   end
	
end
