Subject: executing a proc passed as an argument?

Folks:

This shows what I want, and obviously how NOT to do it.
I've apparently got the callback method into @cb, but how
on earth do I execute it?

 ------------------------------------
class Callback

 def initialize (v, &m)
  @cb = m          #store a callback method
  @v = v            #store an argument to pass the method
 end

 def exe
  #  @cb(@v)            #execute the stored method (not this way!)
  p "called exe, value = #{@v}"      #stored the value, and
  p "stored method =  #{@cb}"      #maybe the proc?
 end
end

x = Callback.new("a value", &proc{|v| p v})
x.exe
--------------------------------------

Thanks,
