Hi

I want to buid up module of Financial variables.
It can be used like this
Financial.year.start    #returns start of ... guess what :)
Financial.year.finish
Financial.quarter.start
Financial.quarter.end

...
You got the idea. It must be easily extensible.
Here is what I came up with:

#!/usr/lib/ruby

module FinancialYear
	def year
		EndPoint.new
	end
	class EndPoint
		def start
			@start = "01/01/"+Time.now.strftime("%Y")
		end
		def finish
			@finish = "31/12/"+Time.now.strftime("%Y")
		end
	end
end

module Period
	def self.included(base)
		base.extend(FinancialYear)
	end
end

module Financial
	include Period
end


I used mostly idioms from Metaprogramming Ruby - Class Extension Mixin
Any suggestion for improvement ?
I am novice in ruby so any suggestion is welcome !
