thread...:handle(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this page is threads::shared::handle — it's the default class for tie-ing handles to threads with forks 💅 and yes that's the whole vibe of the name, it's a whole mouthful, we know, but she's iconic.

This one lives in the perl v5.42.3 manual, section 3pm (that's "User Contributed Perl Documentation" for the uninitiated, iykyk) 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

She's a helper class for forks::shared 🫶 — that's it, that's the whole job description. If you want the actual tea, the real lore, the documentation that actually explains things, you gotta go read the docs over there at forks::shared. This page is just the little signpost, bestie.
