Hi, everyone. I've got this setup: a thread that receives a udp multicast message and sticks it into a 3D hash ($foo{$bar}{$blah}). Then I've got main() that goes through the hash and does processing. The problem is sharing %foo between main and the thread. As I'm sure you know, ::shared is not allowed. What do I do? I tried using Thread::Queue but that doesn't work (prob because I'm using "use threads", as per perlthrtut. I need something simple that will let me enqueue a hash (or anything, really -- I could enqueue an unformatted udp msg and hash it upon dequeuing.) Multicast msgs arrive fast and furious and my receive thread can't do anything except pick it up off the wire, shove it some place and move onto the next msg, for fear of losing updates. Thank you all!
