Thanks,
I've uploaded 0.005_02 which uses an entirely different approach.
In 0.005_01 I tried to use the CLONE() mechanism to do what perl does
for perl data structures and duplicate the queue into the new thread.
This worked fine for ithreads, but not for fork() emulation.
Unfortunately by the time CLONE() runs there isn't enough information
to detect whether a pseudo-fork() or a thread->create() is being done,
and to update the stash list used for CLONE() calls.
So what I've done is to implemente the CLONE_SKIP() method added in
5.8.7, so that the fork() child process will receive a non-blessed
reference instead of a queue object.
This works fine for the sample code you linked to.
