I'm pretty sure that Matz backed this difference out between 1.8 and 1.9, he took out some of these things before the Christmas release of 1.9.0 Object#send will work for private methods as it always did, and Object#send! is no longer there. > additionally there is send() without a receiving object. that is the > only of those methods requiring two parameters. There's no such thing as a method call without a receiving object in Ruby send(:foo) is the same as self.send(:foo) Object#send takes an arbitrary number of arguments, the first argument is the method selector, the rest are used as arguments to the method being called. -- Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
