Thanks -- I also discovered instance_eval

    def do_substitute
      code <<-CODE
      class << self
        alias_method :do_it, :substitute_do_it
      end
      CODE
      instance_eval(code)
    end

I went this way because the code is dynamically generated (more
complex than the above example).
