Getting a method object directly from a module

[Daniel Berger]

Hi all,

Is it possible to get a method object from a Module directly? This
doesn't work:

module Foo
def my_method
end
end

method = Foo.method(:my_method)
=> NameError: undefined method `my_method' for class `Module'

Is there a way to do what I mean?

Regards,

Dan

irb(main):001:0> module M
irb(main):002:1> def m
irb(main):003:2> end
irb(main):004:1> end
=> nil
irb(main):005:0> M.instance_method(:m)
=> #<UnboundMethod: M#m>

Or if you want to be able to call the method:

m = Object.new.extend(Foo).method(:my_method)

Or you can bind unbound method:

Foo.instance_method(:my_method).bind(obj).call
