To understand the thread, one needs to fully grasp the lifecycle of thread i.e. from start
to finish
.
In Perl
, the only threading model available is ithreads
(interpreter threads), which is implemented via the threads
module. In Perl
, threads are ithreads
, meaning each thread has its own Perl interpreter. Data is not shared by default, and you must explicitly use threads::shared
to share variables. A lock
is used to ensure thread-safe access to shared data.
