Wes,

I don't about the first time that the class is loaded, but you get handle
the first time that the class is instantiated.

class Foo
  @@first_time =3D true
  def initialize
    if @@first_time
      puts "perform initialization"
      @@first_time =3D false
    end
  end
end

f =3D Foo.new
ff =3D Foo.new



cheers,
Bruce.
