Method name to method object

[Sean O'Dell]

I want to obtain method objects given their string names. I can't figure out
how to get the method object for MyMethod::mymeth given the string name
"MyMethod::mymeth". I don't know the name of the module in advance, or even
if any was given (or even how many levels of modules deep the method is), so
I can't use something like MyMethod::method("mymeth").

How does one do that?

=> "foo"

You might want to use '.foo' and split on /\./ to get the method...

=> nil


=> nil


=> "foo"

Works very well, thank you. I didn't realize that module/class nestings were
accessible as constants.
