I've just been learning to use threads.pm and threads::shared.pm. I spent ages trying to get my script to work until I realised that use threads; must come before use threads:shared; This probably should have been obvious from the documentation in threads.pm which says preferably enable threads...as early as possible
I was wondering: - if threads could work with a simple use threads; or use threads::shared;? Looking at the code, it appears that they have been modified so that they don't do this. No doubt for some very technical reason beyond me (though I'd be grateful if someone could try to explain), so if its not feasible, then fair enough. - if threads.pm and threads::shared.pm could have their documentation amended to explicitly mention the order of the 'use's? Given this is Perl (i.e. 'fix what you find if you can'), I'd be happy to do this. - should threads::shared.pm silently fail when there has been no use threads;? Again looking at the code, this appears to have been deliberately designed, so if there's a good reason, then ok, though this did give me a lot of grief. Any thoughts?
