Every time I try to use threads on perl I'm disappointed in some way. I'd recommend either use forks; or flattening the response object with Storable or YAML or something.

The problem appears to be though, that although your hash is shared, the ref you put under the key 'current_info' is not shared. Maybe you want the page contents shared?

$data->{key} = $mech->content;
