Subject: define_method with instance assignment to proc

I'm having one of Those mornings! 

I'm not sure how to overcome the syntax error this causes:

  class Module
    def cast_writer(name,cast)
      if cast.kind_of?(Proc) or cast.kind_of?(Method)
        define_method(name) { |x| instance_eval("@#{name}") = cast.call(x) }
      end
    end
  end

syntax error (SyntaxError)
        define_method(name) { |x| instance_eval("@#{name}") = cast.call(x) }
                                                                                      ^

The problem I see is that  @name  has to be provided as a string, while  cast  
cannot be.

Thanks,
T.
