"It seems you can bless shared variables, for example, and the blessed object works fine in a thread.. "

But you don't call that "works", as what you want is to have it shared, but it does not give you that. The caveat stated in the document is precise, but I think it would be better to have some sample code with it, not just description in natural language.

As you said that you tested with 5.8.2, seems that it is not fixed in 5.8.2. Plus 5.8.2 might core dump when you detach thread, I would say not to upgrade to 5.8.2, if thread is important to you.

On the other hand, 5.8.1 thread has unreasonably large memory usage if you don't detach it, so make sure to detach your thread if you don't expect to join later.
