Subject: Re: How to define a function-generating function?

Is this what you are looking for ?
class Module
  def funky_define_method(*args, &block)
    puts "#{args[0]} is being defined"
    define_method(*args, &block)
  end
end

class Parrot
  funky_define_method(:hello) do |msg, name|
    printf(msg,name)
  end
end

Parrot.new.hello("Hello %s !\n", 'Josip')
