"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). + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Thread-Apartment/ |
