1) use a superclass rather than a module:

  class MySuperClass
    def self.do_something
      puts "success"
    end
  end

  class MyClass < MySuperClass
    do_something
  end

2) use extend instead of include:

  module MyModule
    def do_something
      puts "success"
    end
  end

  class MyClass
    extend MyModule
    do_something
  end

3) get tricky with it and use append_features:

  module MyModule
    def self.append_features( aClass )
      def aClass.do_something
        puts "success"
      end
      super # must do this!
    end
  end

  class MyClass
    include MyModule
    do_something
  end

I do not recommend the later though.
