And then I need to figure out where/how to CPAN it.

Yep. And there lies another minefield.

You'll see that I chose to use threads::RWLock as a working title.

That would get frowned upon by the "powers that be", because it has a all-lower first element to the name, but quite frankly, continuing to stick threads-related modules in the Thread::* namespace just invites further and continued confusion over what works with what and why. Like Perl's threads need another barrier to use.

But then I guess the "powers-that-be" that makes these stupid decisions are probably all hardcore 'we don't need no stinkin' threads'-people anyway.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
