  Of course, public_class_methods and private_class_methods do not exist !
  BUT public_class_method and private_class_method DO exist !! Do not put an extra 's' !
   
  You can try within IRB :
  Module.private_class_method
  and it will work.
  Likewise, you will have an explanation for the method with :
  ri private_class_method
  See also the Pickaxe book.
   
  It seems that from the beginning, there is a lot of misunderstanding on my questions !
