Subject: Inheritance with Ruby

I would like to create a new superclass 'Super' for an existing class
'Sub'

class Sub
  def new
     #do something second
  end
end

class Super < Sub
  def new
     #do something first
  end
end

Is it possible create this new Super class so that Super::new is called
every time Sub:new is called without modifying Sub?

The is because Sub already exists and I don't want to tamper the code.
Basically I have a bunch of existing classes that I want to inherit from
'Super' so that I can include some error handling in 'Super'. Is there
another better way to accomplish this without modifying the existing
subclasses?

Thanks!
Chirag
