As long as XS code only allocates its own data structures each time it is invoked (no 'static' or global variables), and only changes data passed in using the official Perl API, XS code will function propertly under an ithreads environment.

So that means that C static variables are shared, but I can use perl variables in the normal way, right? Are there any specific issues with accessing :shared perl variables from XS?
