Please explain in simple words why?

What is so unreasonable about this?

        sub foo {
                my @a :shared;

                sub bar { ...; $a; .... }

                # create new thread with bar
                # create new thread with bar

                while (....) {
                  push(@a, $workOrder);
                }
        }


Or for that matter, perhaps @a is file scoped?

:shared and my/our are orthogonal. One is cross-thread the other is
scoping.
