Thanks for your suggestion, sorry it took me a while to respond.

Thanks, this worked for me.  Unfortunately, after I did

    Object.const_set( :MOD_RUBY, true )

in the context of the test, the check in my code (different context):

    if (defined? MOD_RUBY)

continued to be false.  If I checked in the body of the test method,
this check returned true.  Is this the expected behaviour?

I haven't investigated this to deeply, b/c I've been working on other
problems and I've setup a work around for this issue.

Thanks for your help,

Patrick
