Actually guys, I wonder if I could borrow your brains again. I'm happy to start a new thread if needs be but this is relevant to my previous query.

I didn't realise that sharing hashes would be different from sharing more complex data structures like a hash of hashes.

At the point of making a change to the shared object, is there a way of doing the following:

In thundergnat's code above:

# this
$count{$param1} = $param1 * $param2;
# to this for example
$count{$param1}{$param2}{'count'} = $param1 * $param2;

[download]

Or in BrowserUk's code above:

# this
++$hashref->{ $key };
# to this for example
++$hashref->{ $key }->{'count'}

[download]

Is it possible to get around this apparent limitation in threads::shared as stipulated in their docs?

Once again I very much appreciate any help you can give me

Cheers,

Rich
