Subject: [ruby-talk:17151] Calling Marshal.dump/load from C

Hi,

I'm new to Ruby and I'm trying to write and extension in C.  I'm defining
a method for a class that takes an arbitrary object, marshals it, then
transmits the marshaled string.  How do I call Marshal.dump or
Marshal.load from C?  I've gotten as far as getting IDs for the
functions using rb_intern(), but I'm not sure who the receiver should
be.  I thought it would be the Marshal module, but I don't know how to get
a VALUE for a module.  More generally, who is the receiver when you
call a module method?

(BTW, I'm using 1.6.4 if that helps)

Thanks,
Emil
