modules

Suppose I make a module as follows:

m = Module.new do
  class C
  end
end

Three questions:

Other than a reference to m, is there a way I can access C and other things inside m?
Can I give a name to the anonymous module after I've created it (just as if I'd typed "module ...")?
How do I delete the anonymous module when I'm done with it, such that the constants it defines are no longer present?

In c# I can use lambdas (as delegates), or the older delegate syntax to do this: Func<string> fnHello = () => "hello"; Console.WriteLine(fnHello()); Func<string> fnHello2 = delegate() { return "hello 2"; }; Console.WriteLine(fnHello2()); So… >>> More
