Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(*args) ⇒ Object

If redirect is on, the $stdout of any child processes is redirected to the root pipe. method_missing passes the methods to a pipe where this output is stored. Thus, if you call ppipe.gets, you will get the next thing out put by any child process.

Raises:
