That would be my advice as well.  Note also that Module#to_s is an
alias for Module#name so you can even print the class object directly
(if it is for output purposes).

Ruby version 1.8.7
irb(main):001:0> module Aa
irb(main):002:1> class Name
irb(main):003:2> puts name, self.name, self
irb(main):004:2> end
irb(main):005:1> end
Aa::Name
Aa::Name
Aa::Name
=> nil
irb(main):006:0>


Kind regards
