That method works for me.

irb(main):007:0> 5.zerofy!
=> "05"

So I don't think your problem was where you think it is. By the way,
just as a point of style, since this isn't changing the Fixnum or doing
anything out the the ordinary really, I don't think the method ought to
have a bang on the end.
