...can be especially painful when external code (read: gems) uses const_defined? to look something up and gets different results on different Rubies. Consider this: module Foo FOO = 42

On application servers, gems are usually bundled into the project directory, at a location shared across deployments. This is usually shared/bundle inside your project's root directory, e.g. /var/www/your-project/shared/bundle/.
