Subject: autorequire.rb



just hacked this out - can anyone see holes in it?


     harp:~ > cat autorequire.rb
     class Module
       alias_method "const_missing!", "const_missing"
       def const_missing c
         lib4 = lambda{|k| k.to_s.downcase.gsub(%r/::/, File::SEPARATOR)}
         lib = Object == self ? lib4[c] : lib4["#{ name }::#{ c }"]
         begin; require lib; rescue LoadError; end
         const_missing! c unless const_defined? c
         const_get c
       end
     end

     if $0 == __FILE__
       p Object
       p CGI
       p CGI::Session
       p PStore
       p K
     end



     harp:~ > ruby autorequire.rb
     Object
     CGI
     CGI::Session
     PStore
     autorequire.rb:7:in `const_missing': uninitialized constant K (NameError)
             from autorequire.rb:17


regards.
