Hi,
I am playing with the current Perl Threads, (5.6.1 and up) which
completely differ from the previous versions.
I was thinking in a more elegant implementation, the problem is not the
threads by themselves, but sharing variables between them... Actually
sharing complex multidimensional variables between the threads is a pain in
the butt... because you have to shared every node.
Anyway... the big question... is... would the benefits, worth the
trouble?
Now... about POE... I never used it, it might be interesting, but I
wonder if it wouldn't be too much overhead.
I guess things have to be tried first, so I will give a ride to POE.
Regards!
Javier
