special vars scope...

Hi Ben.
Before you get too far into the details of using threads, can I ask why
you're considering it? The memory footprint and performance of using forked
processes with Perl is generally going to be better than that of threads,
due to copy-on-write.

Hi Perrin,
Thank you for your answer.
Well, for the moment I only use the prefork (non-threaded) MPM.
But I would have liked to test performance of the threaded MPM, so I would have
liked my code to be thread-ready.
According to this :
https://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/performance/mpm.html#
If you want to try it yourself and report back, I'm sure we'd all be
interested in what you find out. The main thing I'm aware of is that
copy-on-write works very well for preforking and threads usually can't
match it, but maybe your application is different.
Regarding your thread-safety questions
