Try this:

irb(main):040:0* t = Time.now
=> Mon Jan 16 21:27:58 CET 2006
irb(main):041:0> m = t.mon
=> 1
irb(main):042:0> nt = Time.mktime 2006, m + 1
=> Wed Feb 01 00:00:00 CET 2006
irb(main):043:0> p nt.strftime("%B")
"February"
=> nil
irb(main):044:0> nt = Time.mktime 2006, m + 2
=> Wed Mar 01 00:00:00 CET 2006
irb(main):045:0> p nt.strftime("%B")
"March"
=> nil
