Hi I have been working on some ithreads related issues and Doug thought it might interest this list. I have released two modules to CPAN, threads-0.03 and threads-shared-0.01. threads is a interface that resembles the old Thread.pm (which eventually will be ported) and lets you maniulate threads from perl space, this is probobly onlt interesting for making it easier to test thing threads::shared is the beginning of sharing variables between threads, it uses a PerlInterpreter stored in threads::sharedsvspace where it creates all SVs and then has TIE interface to them. Currently it does not support references nor SPLICE on arrays, I believe this module should be made to work with mod_perl 2.0 there is also a module coming that is called threads::safe, which is a perl level safe layer for unsafe perl functions, alas are functions like localtime/gmtime not safe from the perl level if your C library isn't safe (Win32 and Digital Unix are the ones I know are (supposed)) There is a mailing list for discussing this at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would like to say that I think mod_perl is an amazing piece of software that has helped very much alot of times! I hope the work I do on perl threading will contribute in making mod_perl 2.0 a solid platform for developing web applications.
