I've no idea, because you haven't shown the source of your 
"local_methods" method, nor the exact sequence of operations to get to 
that point.

If you were in a single irb session, and did load 'extensions/Array.rb' 
after changing Array.rb, then any methods added to Array by the old 
version will still be present in Array, even if the new Array.rb doesn't 
define them.

"Doesn't work" is not a helpful description of an error.

Post your current code (preferably boiled down to the smallest runnable 
example which replicates it). Show exactly what you type, exactly what 
you see - results and/or error message - and what you were expecting to 
see.
