You can store objects whose behavior is intended to handle
threads; otherwise the behavior becomes self-destructive.
Making something an "object" does not immediately make it
shareable.

DBH stores a handle to the Oracle connection, which is not
intended for threading (or forking for that matter, although
it can be worked around). You have to be careful that the
handle is closed only once, for example, even if multiple
proc's/threads exit.
