Subject: String to Class?

I want to be able to take a class name stored in a variable as a string like:

foo = "Foo::Bar"

and convert that to the class Foo::Bar so that I can call .new(), etc:

obj = foo.new

I know I can just do:

foo = Foo::Bar

but that doesn't solve my problem which is to accept the class name as
an argument on the command line from the user.

Thanks,
Aaron
