Subject: Threads and external methods

If I have require'd a module and call a method within that module from
within a thread, do all the variables within that external module need
to be made thread safe?

test.rb ==>
require 'mod'
threads = []
(1..20).each do
threads << Thread.new( var ) { |var|
   # call a function/method within mod
   modFunction( var )
}
threads.each {|a| a.join}

mod.rb ==>
def modFunction( myvar )
   # do lotsa copmlex stuff with myvar
   ....
end

===

Does the 'myvar' variable above need to be 'Thread.current[ "myvar" ]'
instead?

Thanks for helping this noob out!
