Subject: Dynamically executed methods in Ruby?

This is a little hard to explain, and I'm not sure if Ruby can
actually do this, but here goes.

I want to write a class with a method, say "method_handler" which
"traps" all calls to undefined methods and executes them somehow.  For
example:

	  class Foo
	    def	method_handler(meth, *args)
	      # meth is the symbol representing the name of the method
	      ... code to determine what happens ...
	    end
          end

I suspect that it may be possible to do this with an event, but I'm
a little hazy on how that would work.
