Re: Sharing read/WRITE data between threads? [EXT]

Thank you Brad, Jacques and James, for your thoughtful suggestions. I think Brad is right: I should see if I can figure out a different approach, instead of trying to do this. It's looking like it would be more trouble than it's worth. But I'm glad to know about those other options in case

Re: Sharing read/WRITE data between threads?

I've shared read-only data across threads many times a cheap and easy caching mechanims, but as I'm sure you've found in your research, the "copy-on-write" methodology employed by mod_perl prevents you from doing that for mutable data and I'm not aware of a way around that without fundamental
