Subject: Newbie: Unit testing a private method  with arguments

Hi,
I'm somewhat new to ruby. and I want to unit test my methods. Since I 
compose my public methods from private ones, I start writing and also 
test those first. From the web I found that testing of private methods 
is possible through

class Foo
	def foobar
		bar
	end

private
	def bar  # <-- takes no params
		"bar"
	end

	def bla(aName)
	aName
	end
end

x = Foo.new
x.send(:bar)

However, when applying this to method bla, I don't have any idea on how 
to pass any argument to bla. Can someone help me here?

Thanks
Marcus
