My problem is that threads::shared can't share complex data structures and objects. How can this be solved?
I don't advocate this solution nor am I proud of it, but ...
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use Devel::Pointer;
{
package foo;
sub new { bless [rand 100] }
sub blah { print "in blah()\n" }
}
my $obj = foo->new();
$obj->blah();
print "$obj: @$obj\n";
my $o : shared = address_of($obj);
$t = threads->new(sub {
print "\tin thread\n\t";
my $obj2 = deref($o);
$obj2->blah();
print "\t$obj2: @$obj2\n";
});
$t->join;
__output__
in blah()
foo=ARRAY(0x804beec): 43.5769482822256
in thread
in blah()
foo=ARRAY(0x804beec): 43.5769482822256
Now just look into the little memory-wiping stick ... *flash*.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
