Hey, For example, in POE::Component::Client::HTTP (http://search.cpan.org/~rcaputo/POE-Component-Client-HTTP-0.88/lib/POE/Component/Client/HTTP.pm ), the default max_per_host is 4.
So is it always safe to do the following? (i.e. is the handler "response_handler" synchronized?) my $obj = MyClass->new(); # has member variable $data; ... sub response_handler { $obj->{data} = RANDOM_NUM; print $obj->{data}; # should princt exactly the RANDOM_NUM above, not the other RANDOM_NUM set by other thread/process }
