NAME

threads::variables::reap::attr - reap variables in new threads by attribute

SYNOPSIS

use threads::variables::reap::attr;

# force database handle being reaped in each new thread
my $dbh : reap = DBI->connect(...);

# force array being emptied in each new thread
my @connections : reap = map { DBI->connect( @{$_} ) } @dsnlist;

DESCRIPTION

threads::variables::reap::attr provides an attribute reap by lexical scoping using Attribute::Lexical to mark variables to get reaped in new threads or child processes at compile time.

BUGS

This module provides an attribute reap analogous to threads::shared provides the shared attribute. Entirely lower cased attribute names are reserved for future features, so a warning will occure when threads::variables::reap::attr is used. Attributes should be avoided where ever possible, so I decided it's not to bad if an additional warning occures. Use

BEGIN { $^W = 0; }

if the warning bothers you.

Further you should recognize, that in perl before 5.9.4 the lexical state of attribute declarations is not available at runtime. See "BUGS" in Attribute::Lexical for details.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-threads-variables-reap at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=threads-variables-reap. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.
