Subject: Mutex question

Ok ... I'm not sure what the story is with this (perhaps I'm just
clueless).  But, when I do this:

class MutexTest
        def initialize
                @lock = Mutex.new
        end
end

test = MutexTest.new


I get this:

mutex_test.rb:3:in `initialize': uninitialized constant MutexTest::Mutex
(NameError)
  from mutex_test.rb:7:in `new'
  from mutex_test.rb:7



But if I do THIS:

require 'rubygems'
require 'fastthread'

class MutexTest
        def initialize
                @lock = Mutex.new
        end
end

test = MutexTest.new


It works fine.  Am I missing something?  I've been working out of the
pickax book and it mentions nothing of this.  Side note: ruby version
1.8.6, gem version 1.1.1, running on Mac OS X 1.5.2 (with Apples builtin
ruby).

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help,
Snowdall
