Subject: Module, requires, and attr

I'm looking for the best method of coding.  I have module. "module
Standards."  It consists of production standard constants and methods
that will be called from all over the place.  It is gem'd, and is
implemented with a require method.  I would like to change some of the
constants over to accessor variables, so I can change certain settings
on the fly (for testing purposes.)  I would like the accessor variable
to have a default value, but I don't know to accomplish this.  (Can I
even have accessor variables/methods in a module?)  I would like to get
things as simple as this:

attr :lpClientDrive, true     # like to have default value here
...
def lpClientDrive=(dr)
   @lpClientDrive = dr
end

What I currently have (without ability to update) is

def lpClientDrive; "//server/folder/foo/"; end

For testing purposes, I would like to re assign the client drive, as
testing will be done on a non-production machine.
