Subject: iterate through an array of method names to an object

I've been trying to create a iterator that will run through and array of
method names, sending each one to an object. For some reason the object
doesn't like the method names if I send them via an iterator, but if I
spell each one out, it works fine. When I try to use the iterator I get
and error indicating that ruby doesn't think my method names actually
name a method.

Here's some of my code:

functions = ["addHeadersAndFooters", "addListNameToSubject", "admin",
"allowCrossPosting ", "allowDuplicatePosts ", "allowInfo ",
"anyoneCanPost "]

  functions.each do |funk|
    puts name_o_my_object.funk
  end

gives me the following error:

undefined method `funk' for #<SOAP::Mapping::Object:0x5585bd8>
(NoMethodError)

but if I write somthing like:

  functions.each do |funk|
    puts name_o_my_object.addHeadersAndFooters
  end

the iterator works fine, so... what's up with that?
