"basis of that description--ie.readonly use of the object once initially constructed-"
I did not state that the list is created/updated dynamically during the run, with values supplied by cooperating processes.
if I :
- create the 'object' in the main thread before worker threads are created;
- and use either 'our' or 'use vars' with that object;
- and do the locking to single-thread access
then might the object use main thread memory (during dynamic update), even when called from a worker.thread?
I did like your reply though. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out the 'pack'ing process to create 32-bit integers from string IPs and such. I thought I would simply create a shared hash with members containing the base network and the mask. Then I could do the comparisons myself and have a much more transparent solution. Unfortunately, the abstraction layer of Perl's implementation is still very opaque to me...
