Well a couple of ideas there.

If you include the Module (X) then you don't have to use the X:: prefix when
referencing the constants they become part of the local namespace and this
is true  in the erb template which is executing using the binding.


So if you have a file myconstants.rb
module MyConstants
  Foo = 'bar'
end


And your program does this

require 'erb'
require 'myconstants'
include MyConstants

erb = ERB.new 'my template here <%= Foo %>'

b = binding

puts erb.result(b) # gives you 'my template here bar
