As a heavy user of threads::shared (sometimes it feels like the _only_ user
;-) I think that that is a good idea. I think the basic premise of using
tieing variables to make them shared, is a good idea. However, the idea of
keeping local copies of the shared values (as seems to be happening now,
not sure whether that is design or bug) is a bad, IMHO.
And threads::shared is leaking as hell at the moment (at least for arrays
and hashes) making it useless for any production environment at the moment.
I'm trying various approaches/ideas for shared variables in threads at the
moment, implemented as a proof of concept in pure perl (hopefully
migratable to XS or Inline::C in the future).
