Not the solution I was looking for

I desire to enter the methods dependent on variable values created. This would include overloading.

Yes, that is an option, although I was hoping that a more direct approach was available, as is in some other languages.

eval 'MyMethod()'    # Ruby code to execute a method from  a string
