Subject: how to check if script in a file a method?

hello,

given a text string with ruby code, that my program evaluates at some point 
inside an anonymous module, is there a way to analyse the code without 
evaluating it inside a module to tell if it implements a particular method?

i have a bunch of strings like that and i want to present the list of them 
to the user but i need to show what these scripts do so that she could 
choose. after that i do evaluate the chosen one in a module and use it. 
evaluating all of them and using respond_to? before displaying the selection 
list seems ugly. is parsing the only alternative?

something similar to lisp's quote operator (which turns any list in to just 
a data list)?

thanks
