Subject: Accessing functions in a module without 'include'

Usually I work with modules like this:

# Defining a module in one file
  module M
    def f(x)
      ....
    end
  end

# Using the module in another file
  require 'M'
  include M
  f(45)

Sometimes I would find it more convenient to *not* inject
the module's namespace into the user's namespace, i.e. to
do it without the include statement. I thought it would 
be easy to qualify the foreign function with the module
name:

# Using the module in another file
# (this does not work)
  require 'M'
  M::f(45)  # Error: undefined method 'f'

Maybe I'm thinking to Perlish here. Can it be done what I want
to achieve, and how?
