in reply to Things you need to know before programming Perl ithreads

There is one more problem with threads even with PERL 5.8.8 ... on Win32 machines with multi processors...
Sometimes, even if it appears that the threaded scripts are working...they are actually not ...
I found out that running scripts on a single CPU will generally solve the problem...

      I have following queries: ithreads is how much robust in perl 5.8.8? Like the problem with shared variable is sorted out or still Thread::Tie module is still preferable? The package variables(declared with 'our') is paced in symbol table of the package. So when we import a package with 'use' directive in main package, is it safe to declare them as shared variables?
