re threads: yes, i can see that point. it would be nice though to be able to share stuff like IO handles and the like, not just simple variables or refs.

anyhow, thx for sharing!

Net::XMPP is a bit on the dead side. You should look at Net::XMPP2, actively developed and much cleaner API.

Regarding threads, and the not-shared by default, it really depends on what you like or need or are accustom to.

I tend to have less bugs when threads don’t share by default and it makes me clearly define the points where two or more threads exchange information. It makes my code cleaner, and I think more robust.

Best regards,
