Fascinating. But what I don't get is why any of the singleton objects would survive (to do bad things) thread creation, since each thread is supposed to have its own compartmentalized copy of the interpretor. No thread is supposed to "know" anything about any of the data in the other threads or be able to do anything to another thread without an explicit share(). The singleton's should as well be cloned and not be able to touch each other. That's the definition of the threading model.

I was saying that the script is 100 KB, not 100 K-lines. :P And ur right about the trim down artifacts. $session is a ref to the object as created in another namespace. I moved that into main for the test script. %$result6 is another experiment. The original code is || seperated.
