I'm re-defining a method in an object in ruby and I need the new method to be a closure. For example:

def mess_it_up(o)
  x = "blah blah"

  def o.to_s
    puts x  # Wrong! x doesn't exists here, a method is not a closure
  end
end

Now if I define a Proc, it is a closure:

def mess_it_up(o)
  x = "blah blah"

  xp = Proc.new {||
    puts x  # This works
  end

  # but how do I set it to o.to_s.

  def o.to_s
    xp.call  # same problem as before
  end
end

Any ideas how to do it?

Thanks.
