Question

In Ruby. How do I refer to a class from within the class << self definition?

module MyModule
  class MyClass
    puts self # returns MyModule::MyClass

    class << self
      puts self # returns #<Class:MyModule::MyClass>
      puts ???
    end
  end
end

How do I get the result MyModule::MyClass from where the ??? is?

Thanks,
Arth

Until somebody comes up with a more orthodox solution, nesting seems to do the work:

module MyModule
  class MyClass
    class << self
      puts nesting[1] # MyModule::MyClass
    end
  end
end
