Alright Monks,

I have this "global" variable.
use threads::shared;
my $richEdit : shared;

Now, in a sub I do: 
sub something {


    $richEdit = new Win32::GUI::RichEdit (
                                    $infoWindow,
                                    -width => 400,
                                    -height => 200,
                                    -name => "RichEdit",
                                    -text => $text,
                                    -tabstop => 1,
                                    #-disabled=> 1,
                                    -autovscroll => 1,
                                    -addstyle => WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE
+ | WS_VSCROLL | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE
                                    | ES_AUTOVSCROLL
                                    #| ES_READONLY
                                    | ES_WANTRETURN
                                    -addexstyle => WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
                                    );
}

However, at this point of creating the variable I get the error:
"Invalid value for shared scalar at tests.pl line..."
I've tried different approaches, but I cant make this work. I got another variable (an array) which I share the same way, and that works fine. What to do?
(I wanna share this so I can add/delete text from this in other threads)

Thanks,
Ace
