[sr-dev] Thread safety of global variables used in app_perl

[Alex Balashov]

Hi,

Given the presence of a global (e.g. "our") package variable in an 
embedded Perl script used through app_perl, is there any implicit thread 
safety?

That is to say, can a Perl function invoked by one SIP worker reset the 
value of a global while another instance of the function invoked by a 
different SIP worker is accessing it?

And if so, is it safe to use generic perlthr locking to avoid this?

Thanks!
