Nothing ventured, nothing gained

In Ruby, there’s a handy dandy way to get a string representation of a method.

hoktauri$ cat method_to_ruby.rb
def bacon
  "chunky"
end

if $0 == __FILE__
  require 'rubygems'
  require 'ruby2ruby'
  require 'parse_tree_extensions'
  require 'pp'
  pp method(:bacon).to_ruby
end

hoktauri$ ruby method_to_ruby.rb
"def bacon\n \"chunky\"\nend"

Uses the ruby2ruby and ParseTree gems.
