Subject: StackError: stack level too deep

i'm currently learning Ruby. So, while learning about code blocks and 
yields i wanted to put my freshly acquired knowledge to the test and 
(just to see if i understood correctly) write my own simple each method 
for Arrays. so i did:

class Array
  def each
  for x in self
    yield(x)
  end
  end
end

But running it gives me SystemStackError: stack level too deep. It works 
fine when i rename it, so i guess it's just Ruby not appreciating my 
fine work or somehow making sure i don't introduce flagrant overwrites 
to built-in methods??? Anybody feels like enlightening me on how this 
works? Thanks.
