[Chicago-talk] Sharing data in threads

[Stathy G Touloumis]

I thought you asked this before :)

How are you sharing the object?

Use the function call with references :
my $array = [];
&share( $array );
bless $array, $class;

VS

my $array : shared = [];

"If you want to share a newly created reference unfortunately you need to 
use '&share([])' and '&share({})' syntax due to problems with Perl's 
prototyping."
