Re^2: Threaded Sockets, access from outside thread?

$controlSocket is declared globally uptop, and then is configured in the sub commandPath to initiate the socket to the master server.
Even though I declared it globally, I can't access it from outside the thread.
Unless you're seeing something else and I'm misinterpreting what you're saying?

I think he means `my $controlSocket;` should be `my $controlSocket :shared;` Variables aren't automatically shared.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks I tried that before, but ended up getting: thread failed to start: Invalid value for shared scalar at server_clie +nt_thread.pl line 41. thread failed to start: Invalid value for shared scalar at server_clie +nt_thread.pl line 59. for lines: $controlSocket = IO::Socket::INET->new("localhost:1024") or pr +int "Can`t open feed\n"; and $server = IO::Socket::INET->new( Proto => 'tcp', [download] If the shared call is right, should I be declaring the socket calls differently?
