I have tried using HTML::Parser in a threaded application. If an HTML::Parser object exists when there is more than one thread, it has problems destroying the object afterwards (and the program dies).Here are a few one-liners (and their output) that demonstrate the problem: $ perl -MHTML::Parser -Mthreads -e'(async{new HTML::Parser})->join' Bad signature in parser state object at 3767c0. Unbalanced string table refcount: (1) for "_hparser_xs_state" during global destruction. Scalars leaked: 4
I see the same noise here on Linux, so there is definitively a problem here. I have no idea what the problem is though. I have tried to ignore knowing much about 'threads'. There should be no inherent reason for HTML::Parser not to be thread safe. Anybody with threads know-how that can help? -- Gisle Aas
