Subject: [ruby-talk:23736] win32ole glitch?

Using method('blah').call on a win32ole does not seem to work properly. I
can do the following with Array:

  irb(main):005:0> a = Array.new
  []
  irb(main):006:0> a = [1,2,3]
  [1, 2, 3]
  irb(main):007:0> a.method('reverse').call
  [3, 2, 1]

... but the same with win32ole:

  irb(main):002:0> require 'win32ole'
  true
  irb(main):003:0> ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
  #<WIN32OLE:0xa0bf248>
  irb(main):004:0> ie.method('gohome').call
  NameError: undefined method `gohome' for class `WIN32OLE'
  (irb):4:in `method'
  (irb):4:in `irb_binding'

Why doesn't method_missing in WIN32OLE catch the gohome call when
method('gohome').call is used instead of .gohome?
