Here's one alternative:

     myhash = { 'foo' => method('methodone'),
                'bar' => method('methodtwo') }

     myhash["foo"].call
     myhash["bar"].call "hi, i am method two"

The method() method returns a reference to a Method object for the named 
method (could I use the word "method" a few more times in that 
sentence?) And call() is an instance method for Method objects.

Hope this helps,
