(apologies for replying by email previously)

I tried the above and it worked for me as expected:

irb(main):023:0> i = 1
=> 1
irb(main):024:0> j = case i
irb(main):025:1> when 1
irb(main):026:1> true
irb(main):027:1> else
irb(main):028:1* false
irb(main):029:1> end
=> true
irb(main):030:0> j
=> true
