How do you share an object(Telnet Sesion) between threads?

How do you share an object(Telnet Sesion) between threads?

I need the Telnet session below available to 3 threads(connect, disconnect,
& scan). $telnetsession is of type Net::Telnet per
print(ref($telnetsession)).

This is part of a larger wxPerl script. All of the display and interlocking
between the GUI and threads seems to working corectly.

Crossposted to wxperl-users.

Thanks,
James
