Thread::Apartment provides an apartment threading wrapper
|
||
|
|
for Perl classes. "Apartment threading" is a method for
|
||
|
|
isolating an object (or object hierarchy) in its own thread,
|
||
|
|
and providing external interfaces via lightweight client
|
||
|
|
proxy objects. This approach is especially valuable in the
|
||
|
|
Perl threads environment, which doesn't provide a direct
|
||
|
|
means of passing complex, nested structure objects between
|
||
|
|
threads, and for non-threadsafe legacy object architectures,
|
||
|
|
e.g., Perl/Tk.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By using lightweight client proxy objects that implement the
|
||
|
|
Thread::Queue::Queueable interface, with Thread::Queue::Duplex
|
||
|
|
objects as the communication channel between client proxies
|
||
|
|
and apartment threads (or between threads in general), a more
|
||
|
|
thread-friendly OO environment is provided, ala Java, i.e.,
|
||
|
|
the ability to pass arbitrary objects between arbitrary threads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thread::Apartment is a fundamental component of the PSiCHE
|
||
|
|
framework (http://www.presicient.com/psiche).
