For example, if it contains an object of class Foo::Bar, and such class does not exist at runtime, would you want it to create a fresh Foo::Bar class? Such class would have no methods of course, apart from those inherited from Object. A quick experiment suggests that Object.const_missing is not invoked by Marshal.load, so perhaps parsing the Marshal format yourself is the best bet. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
