Umm ... You already posted this question, and I answered it.
Did you not like the answer?

Also as Brian mentioned, module_eval/class_eval works.

An invisible parameter is passed to a block (search for cases of
specific_eval in eval.c) which is used for constant lookups.

For A.module_eval { } and A.class_eval { }, that invisible parameter
is A.  But for A.instance_eval { }, it is A's singleton class.

The constant lies in A, not in A's singleton class.
