Subject: instantiate a class dynamically

Hey All,

If I have the name of a class in a string var, is it possible to get a
new instance of that class (and if so, how)?  The following do *not*
work:

  my_string = "Hash"

  my_object = Class(my_string)
  my_object = Class.new(my_string)
  my_object = Object.new(my_string)

Thanks!
