lock_hash_recurse

Lock a hash and every nested hash it references, transitively.

Synopsis

lock_hash_recurse(%hash);

Recurses only through hash-valued entries — a hash-of-hashes is locked throughout, but a hash-of-arrays-of-hashes has only the outermost hash locked because the recursion does not descend into arrays. Reach for Data::Visitor or write your own walker if you need deeper traversal.

Returns a reference to the hash.
