Comment(by keith.gautreaux@…):

 It seems that MacRuby treats modules differently than Ruby 1.9.  You
 shouldn't be able to instantiate a named module using the new method, i.e.

 A = Module.new do
   def meth1
     "hello"
   end
 end

 a = A.new (shouldn't work)
 => NoMethodError: undefined method `new' for A:Module

 but it does in MacRuby returning an instance of A:Module which responds to
 the meth1 call
 => #<A:0x2003da160>

 a.meth1
 =>"hello"
