=head1 NAME

threads::shared - Perl extension for sharing data structures between threads

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use threads::shared;

  my($foo, @foo, %foo);
  share($foo);
  share(@foo);
  share(%hash);
  my $bar = share([]);
  $hash{bar} = share({});

  lock(\%hash);
  unlock(\%hash);
  cond_wait($scalar);
  cond_broadcast(\@array);
  cond_signal($scalar);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This modules allows you to share() variables. These variables will
then be shared across different threads (and pseudoforks on
win32). They are used together with the threads module.

=head2 EXPORT

share(), lock(), unlock(), cond_wait, cond_signal, cond_broadcast

=head1 BUGS

Not stress tested!
Does not support splice on arrays!
