+=head2 Making your module threadsafe
+X<threadsafe> X<thread safe>
+X<module, threadsafe> X<module, thread safe>
+X<CLONE> X<CLONE_SKIP> X<thread> X<threads> X<ithread>
+
+Since 5.6.0, Perl has had support for a new type of threads called
+interpreter threads (ithreads). These threads can be used explicitly
+and implicitly.
+
+Ithreads work by cloning the data tree so that no data is shared
+between different threads. These threads can be used by using the C<threads>
+module or by doing fork() on win32 (fake fork() support). When a
+thread is cloned all Perl data is cloned, however non-Perl data cannot
+be cloned automatically. Perl after 5.7.2 has support for the C<CLONE>
+special subroutine. In C<CLONE> you can do whatever
+you need to do,
+like for example handle the cloning of non-Perl data, if necessary.
+C<CLONE> will be called once as a class method for every package that has it
+defined (or inherits it). It will be called in the context of the new thread,
+so all modifications are made in the new area. Currently CLONE is called with
+no parameters other than the invocant package name, but code should not assume
+that this will remain unchanged, as it is likely that in future extra parameters
+will be passed in to give more information about the state of cloning.
+
+If you want to CLONE all objects you will need to keep track of them per
+package. This is simply done using a hash and Scalar::Util::weaken().
+
+Perl after 5.8.7 has support for the C<CLONE_SKIP> special subroutine.
+Like C<CLONE>, C<CLONE_SKIP> is called once per package; however, it is
+called just before cloning starts, and in the context of the parent
+thread. If it returns a true value, then no objects of that class will
+be cloned; or rather, they will be copied as unblessed, undef values.
+This provides a simple mechanism for making a module threadsafe; just add
+C<sub CLONE_SKIP { 1 }> at the top of the class, and C<DESTROY()> will be
+now only be called once per object. Of course, if the child thread needs
+to make use of the objects, then a more sophisticated approach is
+needed.
+
+Like C<CLONE>, C<CLONE_SKIP> is currently called with no parameters other
+than the invocant package name, although that may change. Similarly, to
+allow for future expansion, the return value should be a single C<0> or
+C<1> value.
