Subject: Re: Class inside a Method Body

The class wouldn't be defined until the method is executed, and would be 
re-opened each time the method is executed.

That's almost certainly not what you want (*). If you want a private 
helper class, I suggest you do it like this:

class MyClass
  class MyHelper
    ...
  end
  def my_method
    MyHelper.new(...)
  end
end

Regards,

Brian.

(*) And if you really do, then you can use:

  k = Class.new
or
  k = Class.new(superclass)
or use 'eval' to define your class.
