In that case you need to look at the several things in the glob (a scalar, a hash, an array, a file handle, maybe a few other more exotic things but unlikely) and see which are being used by the object. Share each of those and then, in each thread, build a new glob and put the shared things into it (and then bless the result).

I've tried this in the past -- for IO::Socket objects amongst others -- and despite many attempts over several years; never succeeded in getting it to work.

Maybe it would be easier with a telnet object, or maybe not; but either way, as there is no possibility of a remote telnet server allowing multiple concurrent transactions via a single session, there is simply no point in pursuing it.

Far better -- simpler, more reliable, safer -- to either:

  1. Serialise the multiple streams through a fourth thread that using a single non-shared session.
  2. Or: have each thread create its own non-shared telnet session and let the remote telnet server take care of multiplexing those sessions.
