Subject: define_method with super in the proc

ran into a serious problemo! i'm trying to create a subclass with
Class.new and then override a method with define_method, using super (of
course) to call up to the superclass. ex-

  class A
    def doit
      @x = 5  
    end
  end

  def makeproc 
    Proc.new {
      super
      @y = 10
    }
  end

  B = ClassNew(A)
  B.class_eval { define_method(:doit, makeproc) }

the problem is that #makeproc is interpreting the super for itself and
thus reports an error of 'makeproc' super: no superclass method
'makeproc' (NameError). obviously that's not what i want. how strange.
it dosen't try to define @y = 10 for makeproc's object. how do i work
around this?
