I'm trying to embed perl code within C. All is good until I want to do multiple threads- bad things then occur. I'm allocating a PerlIntrepreter for each thread by using perl_alloc() and also setting the context before each command. Here's my code:

PL_perl_destruct_level = 1;

my_perl = perl_alloc();
PERL_SET_CONTEXT(my_perl);
perl_construct(my_perl);
perl_parse(my_perl, NULL, 3, Embedding, (char **)NULL);
perl_run(my_perl);

On a different, but possibly related note, perl_alloc seems to return a null pointer, although this does not affect the single-threaded process. All help is appreciated.
