This is a newbie style email... please forgive me. I write a lot of perl both on Windows and Linux. However, my life has been sequential up to this point. I don't know how to multithread.
I primarily use Perl 5.005_03. I have lots of legacy code to support. I am trying to come up with a method of multi-threading or multi-processing that is portable across Linux and Windows. Most of my servers are 4X Intel-based servers. I have read about multi-processing through processes assigned to file handles. Didn't make much sense. I have also read that Perl is problematic for threads. The application that I have in mind is a program that can open multiple files (maybe four files) at the same time and search through the files using regular expressions. I'm kind of stuck on how to do this in a multi-whatever processing model. I can do it sequentially easily but then the files are out of sync. What I'm looking for are some examples of multi-processing or multi-threading that work across Linux and Windows. Thanks for the help, ...Robert __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
