in reply to Re: threads::shared hash
in thread threads::shared hash

You're right, I did some mistakes, I just modified my post :P
A shared hash works fine, but
the creation of a shared hash of hashes is the problem:

use threads;
use threads::shared;
use strict;

my %hash : shared;
my $var = "hello";

$hash{'foo'}{'bleh'} = "test";
$hash{$var}{'foo'} = "test";

Both 'foo' or $var keys returns the error: Invalid value for shared scalar.

    Unfortunately, autovivification doesn't auto-share, so you have to manually create shared elements.

    #! perl -slw
use strict;
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use Data::Dumper;

my %hash : shared;
my $var = 'hello';

$hash{ foo } = &share( {} );
$hash{ foo }{ bleh } = 'test';

$hash{ $var } = &share( {} );
$hash{ $var }{ foo } = 'test';

print Dumper \%hash;
__END__
P:\test>test
$VAR1 = {
          'foo' => {
                     'bleh' => 'test'
                   },
          'hello' => {
                       'foo' => 'test'
                     }
        };

    Note: The &shared( {} ); syntax is required. See threads::shared for details.
