Hi, monks:
    I am trying to write a server based on Http::Daemon, 
and want the main thread to accept the client connections, 
and then pass these client connections to the serveral 
worker threads to handle, but how can I pass these client 
connections to the worker threads that have been created 
before? 
    Originally, I thought I can pass these client 
coneections by a shared array, but when I try to "push 
@clientConnections, share_clone( $client )", the 
share_clone subroutin gives me an "Unsupported type of 
'GLOB'" error message. Yes,it can't share the socket 
descriptor.


...
my @clientConnections : shared;
# several worker threads
threads->create( \&handleClients, ( \@clientConnections ) );
while ( my $client = $httpd->accept) {
    push @clientConnections, share_clone( $client );
}

sub handleClients
{
    ...
}
