Subject: accessing top-level 'self'



rubyists-

any ideas how to refer to the top level 'self' in a ruby program, that is to
say the self where self.to_s() == "main"

eg (intent - obviously doesn't work):

  class Klass
    top_level_self = ::self
    ...
    top_level_self.instance_eval 'code'
  end


-a
