Re^4: Locking hash values

To continue with this theme why not to share a ref to a hash. Like so:

...
use threads;
use threads::shared;
...

my $href : shared;
$href = &share({});
...

# Lock block
{
  lock $href;
  $href->{mykey} = 'myval';
}
...
[download]

For more see perldoc threads::shared.

If the OP wanted to lock the hash, `lock(%hash)` would be sufficient. However, he wants to lock an element of the hash.	[reply] [d/l]

yeah, I could lock the whole hash, but I'd much rather be able to lock hash-values to keep from blocking too much.	[reply]
