Hi monks!

I am new to threads, so i faced such a problem:

I had written a class, witch works with dbm, but, when i am trying to call a sub, wich accesses db handle,

i'm getting such an error:Thread 1 terminated abnormally: DBD::DBM::db prepare failed: handle 2 is owned by thread 80100a000 not current thread 801051000 (handles can't be shared between threads and your driver may need a CLONE method added) at test_mod.pm line 55 line 55 is: $sql = $dbh->prepare($query) || die($dbh->errstr);

Please could you explain why it is owned by other thread, when i am calling it from with only thread i have created, and what is CLONE method?

Or a different class method by default executed by it's own thread or smth like that?

Thanks a lot in advance!
