This version was all I needed: Object.const_get(klass) I'm receiving only the child-class name with none of it's parentage. But now I'm trying to curious about how Test::Unit does this job. My first kick at this problem was to find out how it was done there. I still haven't found anything that looks like Object instantiation in the Test::Unit code.
