To understand the thread, one needs to fully grasp the lifecycle of thread i.e. from start to finish.
In Perl, the only threading model available is ithreads (interpreter threads), which is implemented via the threads module. In Perl, threads are ithreads, meaning each thread has its own Perl interpreter. Data is not shared by default, and you must explicitly use threads::shared to share variables. A lock is used to ensure thread-safe access to shared data.
