Requiring in a Java-like Import Way

[Zach Dennis]

Since Navindra wanted to know how-to handle java-like imports I've
blogged my solution which allows:

require 'mypackage.subpackage.file'
require 'mypackage.*'

to be used. So check it out if this you're interested...

some remarks: I'd change "what.gsub!( /\./, '/' )" into "what = what.gsub(
/\./, '/' )" in order to not fiddle with the argument (could be frozen after
all). Is it possible that your regexp should've read "if( what =~
/^(.*)\.\*$/ )" (main issue the missing "\.")?

Kind regards

Ah...yes. thx

its possible for someone to name a file "file*" but that is poor naming,
but entirely possible! I'll make the update for the "\." to be. thx for
pointing this out.
