Hi,
I'm soooo stuck please help me. I've been trying to share this array forever but it does not work for me. :(
I need to make this work but I have to use "share" here, I can not simply return the variable. any idea how I can fix this? 

 

 use threads::shared; 
 use strict;  
 use warnings; 
 use Data::Dumper; 


   my $tmp=meow(); 
   #my @state : shared;  #if I use this line instead I get  this "inva
+lid value for shared scalar. (since state is an array of arrays)" 

 
   my @state = &share([]); 
   for (my $i = 0;$i <6 ; ++$i) { 
         my $row = &share([]);  
          @{$state[$i]} = $row; 
     }  


  print Dumper(@state); 


  sub meow { 
    my $i = 0; 
    my $j = 1; 
    my @p = ("grey" , "striped" , "purrr", 
             "cutest_kitty" , "meowing_kitty",           
             "the_lord_of_the_cats"); 
    my @k = ("smart_kitty" , "striped_sweety" , 
             "purrr", "meowing_poes" , "social_kitty", 
             "the_lord_of_the_poezen"); 
    
    for (my $f=0; $f<6 ; $f++) { 
      push(@{$state[$i]}, $p[$f]);  
      push(@{$state[$j]}, $k[$f]);
    }

~/my_perl_test> perl sharingpoes2.pl
$VAR1 = [

        ]; 
$VAR2 = [ 
          [] 
        ];
$VAR3 = [ 
          [] 
        ]; 
$VAR4 = [ 
          [] 
        ]; 
$VAR5 = [ 
          [] 
        ]; 
$VAR6 = [ 
          [] 
        ];
