Any insight into how I can share a Bit::Vector object, if at all? The threads::shared doc discusses some support for object sharing, but if anyone knows how to translate that into my simple example above, I would *really* appreciate it!

Dunno! I've never been able to work that out either. I think it might only work if Bit::Vector was modified to use the version of bless exported by threads::shared, but I suggest you contact the maintainer to get the real skinny on it.

However, I don't recommend sharing objects between threads anyway. Unless the module is written from the ground up with threading in mind, it just leads to a world of hurt. In the case of bit vectors it seems like a particularly bad idea.

If you could briefly describe your usage for Bit::Vector with threading, I may be able to help you. I have a simple XS bit vector module that bypasses threads::shared to allow multi-threaded use without the overheads and restrictions that module brings.

If your needs are simple, it might be possible for me to clean that up to the point were it is usable by others.
