Just grab threads::shared from CPAN,

I already had it, and your code worked without me doing anything. But I woudl never had thought to try it because I knew it didn't work. I tried many times a long time ago. 'sides, the docs told me ot wouldn't

Perhaps the threads::shared docs need some clarification, and the blessing of shared objects needs to be evangelized better ?

If two of the most informed monks here didn't know about it, and if I, who may know nothing but do read anything and everything I see regarding threads, hadn't seen a single reference to it, then a little mention somewhere would be good thing I think :)
