in reply to Using clone/dclone with threads

Can you write a runnable example with actual threads? Then it would be easier to see if its your mistake, and if not, maybe we can play with fixing it..

Have you tried checking that $cfg::sessions{A} is indeed a reference? try printing ref($cfg::sessions{A}) there and see what it says.

    FYI, here's some code. Uncomment/comment Clone/Storable, clone/dclone as reqd:
