Subject: How can method in module access class const?

Hi:

How does one go about accessing a class constant from
a method that is defined inside a module.
The first example is what I would like to do, but it
fails. The second example works if I place the method
in the class directly.

Thanks

      1 module M
      2   def initialize
      3     puts CC
      4   end
      5 end
      6 class C
      7   CC = "CC"
      8   include M
      9 end
     10 c=C.new # => unitialized constant CC at M (NameError)
     
    
      1 class C
      2   def initialize
      3     puts CC
      4   end
      5   CC = "CC"
      6 end
      7 c=C.new # => CC
