Hello, May you help me to understand what is my misunderstanding with IO::AIO within threads - the docs says it is not reentrant but, is this the issue with the following script and how do I solve it? Thanks you very much. (I am on debian, perl 5.14.2, IO::AIO 4.11-2+b1) 
% perl /tmp/test.pl /etc/passwd
(in cleanup) IO::AIO: expected a working directory object as returned 
+by aio_wd during global destruction.
        (in cleanup) IO::AIO: expected a working directory object as r

the script itself is 
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use threads;
use IO::AIO;
use POSIX qw/EXIT_SUCCESS/;

my $file = shift;

my @res1 = mylstat($file);
my @res2 = threads->create({'context' => 'list'}, 'mylstat', $file)->j
+oin();

print 'direct call: ['.join('][', @res1) . "]\n";
print 'thread call: ['.join('][', @res2) . "]\n";

exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);

sub mylstat {
    my @lstat;
    aio_lstat shift, sub {$_[0] and return; @lstat = lstat(_);};
    IO::AIO::flush;
    return(@lstat);
}

and the IO::AIO warning appears only if I call within thread, not in the direct call version.
