Actually, upon further review, it requires even more updating than you suggest.

It relies on old threads locked attribute to control access to the locking/unlocking methods, plus it needs to be passed between threads, so I need to change its base hash to a shared object which can be lock()'d to support the same access control. And it needs to implement Thread::Queue::Queueable so it gets automagically reblessed when passed to another thread.

So, in its current form, its not really useable for ithreads, tho the underlying locking algorithm is certainly useable.
