Bug#1020510: perl-doc: Please update threads::shared(3perl) SEE ALSO information

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.34.0-5
Severity: normal

The SEE ALSO section of the threads::shared(3perl) man page says:

       threads::shared on MetaCPAN:
       <https://metacpan.org/release/threads-shared>

       Code repository for CPAN distribution:
       <https://github.com/Dual-Life/threads-shared>

but this code hasn't change since 2018, while this man page appears
to be newer:

perl v5.34.0                      2022-07-04            threads::shared(3perl)

And in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.34.0/threads/shared.pm
the current version is 1.62, while it is 1.59 on MetaCPAN and
in the above GitHub repository:

  https://github.com/Dual-Life/threads-shared/blob/develop/README

BTW, the SEE ALSO section also gives

       Perl threads mailing list: <http://lists.perl.org/list/ithreads.html>

which says "The iThreads mailing list is no longer active. This page
exists for historical purposes only."
