Dear All, I want a perl script to extract only the user defined methods from a ruby file. For example:


Consider the following Ruby file, 
  puts "hai"
  def mult(a,b)
    a * b
  end
  puts "hello"
  def getCostAndMpg
    cost = 30000  # some fancy db calls go here
    mpg = 30
    return cost,mpg
  end
  AltimaCost, AltimaMpg = getCostAndMpg
  puts "AltimaCost = #{AltimaCost}, AltimaMpg = {AltimaMpg}"

From the above ruby code the perl script should parse the above file and it has to return only the methods code from that ruby file.



So that it has to return the output like

Expected Output 

def mult(a,b)
   a * b
end
def getCostAndMpg
    cost = 30000  # some fancy db calls go here
    mpg = 30
    return cost,mpg
end

Kindly give me a perl script or guide me is there any perl module to achieve this. Thanks in Advance!
