From: ptkwt@... (Phil Tomson) Date: 2006-03-02T11:53:36+09:00 Subject: const_missing oddity? def Object.const_missing name puts "There is no constant: #{name}" end irb(main):038:0> Foo { puts "here!"} NoMethodError: undefined method `Foo' for main:Object from (irb):38 from :0 irb(main):039:0> Foo There is no constant: Foo => nil So the block after Foo keeps Foo from being recognized as a constant? (apparently it's recognized as a method instead) Phil
