Re: Passing self to process as reference

you are storing a hash reference to the first index on the array.

 my @paramters = ($self);
  my $thread = new Thread \&processJobs, \@paramters;

And in processjobs you are expecting the hash reference

sub processJobs
{
  my $self = shift;
}
[download]

if my understanding on your post is correct, why can't you change line like this

  my $thread = new Thread \&processJobs, $self;
and in process jobs use like this
sub processJobs
{
  my $self = $_[0];
}

This is not an answer to your question, but I saw an un-necessary use of an intermediate array, i pointed you that.

Thanks for the reply! Passing $self like this is pass by value. I wan't to pass it by reference. At the moment, updating a value in self via the main thread is not being reflected in my process because i only have a copy of self.	[reply]
