Subject: how to test for existence of a method

I'm a little stumped on this one. I looked at several ideas, and none 
panned out.

I have a string, which may name a method in a module required by my 
program. How can I test programmatically to see if  the method actually 
exists? I'd like to do something better than just catch an exception 
generated when I call a non-existent method.

Is there a way to do this?
