Hi Torrey,
I don't think that's how the app_perl module works. I believe it spawns
a single instance of the interpreter that is shared among the processes.
I could be mistaken, but that's how it looks from the module code.

My experience with app_perl is that global variables are not shared
between processes. So if you have 10 kamailio processes you would have
10 different %hash with different values. So it is thread safe, but
perhaps isn't what you want.

I meant a global Perl variable -- one that would persist in a
persistent interpreter. Specifically, a "package variable" of this type:
our %hash = ();

Hello,
is it about a global variable defined inside the perl script or
you mean
kamailio.cfg variables? The terminology you used might be clear
for Perl
guys, but as I am not one, I want to clarify it...
As generic remarks -- kamailio is multi-process application, so each
child is a process, not a thread. Each process has its own private
memory space, so a global kamailio.cfg variable such as $var(x) is
defined in each process and each process has access to the one
specific
to it. There are shared memory variables, like $shv(z) that all
processes can access and change, requiring synchronization to
avoid races.
Cheers,
Daniel

Hi,
Given the presence of a global (e.g. "our") package variable
in an
embedded Perl script used through app_perl, is there any
implicit
thread safety?
That is to say, can a Perl function invoked by one SIP
worker reset
the value of a global while another instance of the function
invoked
by a different SIP worker is accessing it?
And if so, is it safe to use generic perlthr locking to
avoid this?
Thanks!
