any changes to the copied variables don't effect the values of those variables in other threads, i.e. everything is thread local.
Unless the cloned variables are closed over ....
You seem to be carving out an exception for something like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.012;
use threads;
my $x = 20;
sub do_stuff{
my $thread_id = shift;
say "In thread $thread_id: ", ++$x;
}
threads->create(\&do_stuff, 1)->join();
say "In thread 'main': $x";
--output:--
In thread 1: 21
In thread 'main': 20
But even though the thread closes over $x, it cannot change the $x in main. So, it appears to me that the closed over variable is also thread local.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
