Subject: Equality of constants

If I run the following code:

if Hash === Hash
     puts "yup"
end

I get no output.  From what I can tell, this means that I can't test 
constants in a when statement.  I need something like the following:

array.each { |member|
   case member.class
     when Object::Subclass
       next
   end
   stuff
}

and if I can't test the equality of constants with === (which is what 
'when' uses; why is it a separate operator?), then I can't use them as 
values in a when statement.  How do I do this?

Thanks,
Luke
