Did you run perldoc Thread?
Thread is an old obsolete Perl 5.005 thing.
The development of new Threads module for Perl 5.6 with iThreads
is under development but currently only runs under very recent
development versions of perl.
You can of course create threads without it. fork() in reality creates
threads under ActivePerl 5.6 (or any perl compiled with iThreads)
so this code actualy creates two threads :
$pid = fork();
die "Cannot fork() : $!" unless defined $pid;
if ($pid) {
print "Hello I am the parent thread\n";
sleep(10);
} else {
print "Hello I am the child thread\n";
sleep(9);
}
You may check via "Tesk Manager" that this script will not produce
two processes, but only onew with two threads.
Read perldoc perlfork
There are still some problems with iThreads though. One of them is
presented here http://jenda.krynicky.cz/iThreads.html
HTH, Jenda
P.S.: I have written a script with one main and several worker
threads where the main thread sends commands to the children via
a pipe and any free child accepts the command and acts
accordingly. Works great. I'll clean it up, comment it and post it
online soon as an example.
