=head1 NAME

class.pl - Example 'threadsafe' class code

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This example class illustrates how to create hash-based objects that can be
shared between threads using L<threads::shared>.  In addition, it shows how to
permit the objects' fields to contain arbitrarily complex data structures.

=over

=item my $obj = My::Class->new('key' => $value, ...)

The class contructor takes parameters in the form of C<key=E<gt>value> pairs,
and adds them as fields to the newly created shared object.  The I<values> may
be any complex data structures, and are themselves made I<shared>.

=item $obj->set('key' => $value)

This method adds/sets a field for a shared object, making the value for the
field I<shared> if necessary.
