Class_eval constant look up

ruby-talk
1

given:

class A
   class B
     class C
     end
   end
end

I would expect

A.class_eval { B } to find A::B - but instead it raises "NameError uninitialized constant Class::B"

am I misreading what this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3434884/accessing-ruby-class-variables-with-class-eval-and-instance-eval) says?

I am using 1.9.2.

http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/518282
