Please explain how this is possible?

Does this mean that without user specifying a lock, perl will allow
a chaotic update pattern to be visible to the user?

        thread A                        thread B 
        push(@foo, $bar);               ++$bar;

or
        $foo{$bar} = $baz;              delete $foo{$bar++};

Will there be some sort of coherence here?
