Delayed jobs not working on module methods

[radiospiel]

I find it a bit strange that

class X
def self.method; end
end

X.send_later :method

works, but

module X
def self.method; end
end

X.send_later :method

fails. Is there any philosophical reason for this? If not, I would like to see the latter working as well. Besides, it would be great if send_later methods that will fail because the target object cannot be serialized would raise an ArgmentError.

I'd accept a patch to make this work. It's probably a oneliner.

Thanks. The following should do:

--- a/vendor/plugins/delayed_job/lib/delayed/performable_method.rb
+++ b/vendor/plugins/delayed_job/lib/delayed/performable_method.rb
@@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ module Delayed

but the naming is suboptimal, of course. I will try to prepare a better patch during the next days.
