I want to extend Date class in ruby.Actually what I want to do is that add a method to Date class. Following is an example

I want to add 'my_simple_method' method to Date class

def my_simple_method 
 puts 'this is from my_simple_method'
end

after adding this users should be able to call this method as

date_obj = Date.parse('2010-07-01')
puts date_obj.my_simple_method
