Perhaps that was too cryptic. Here's an example: def test p "in first test" end module somemodule def somemodule::somemethod test() end def somemodule::test p "in somemodule::test" end end In somemodule::somemethod, I intended to call the global test method, but I ended up calling somemodule::test. How do you call the outer global method in a case like this? Sean O'Dell
