Subject: Re: eval/Module question (clearer)

Let me try again.
---snip---
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby

module Gamma
$x= <<EOF
module Alpha
    class Beta
        def test
            puts("OK")
        end
    end
end
EOF
eval $x

result=Object
result.const_get("Gamma").const_get("Alpha").const_get("Beta").new()  #Works

result=Object
result.const_get("Alpha").const_get("Beta").new()                     #Fails
end
---snip---

If you'll accept that the call to eval has to appear in the module Gamma 
(this is just sample code), how can I get my Alpha module to not be 
inside Gamma?  (i.e., so the second string of const_get() works.

Thanks.
