in reply to Perl thread confustion
1. The most recent documentation for threads.pm states that variables are by default thread local? I have also read that everything gets copied over to a new thread. Which is it?
Well, first everything is copied over to the new thread, then because everything is a copy, any changes to the copied variables don't effect the values of those variables in other threads, i.e. everything is thread local.
