Subject: quick question

Why does this not work in mod_ruby?

  $DEBUG = true

  class Object
    def myLoad (pathToFile)
      return load(pathToFile) if $DEBUG
      require pathToFile
    end
  end

  myLoad '/var/www/hidden/first.rb'


It isn't finding 'myLoad', and so is generating a NameError.  This works in
normal Ruby, but not mod_ruby.  Could someone explain to me why this is, and
how I could just make a simple globally accessible method like this one?

BTW, if I make it a class method of Object, then Object.myLoad works just
fine.

Thanks,

Chris
