Hi Shlomi, I just want to rewrite some of the already existing modules to make use of threading, only to enhance my skills on multi threading and nothing more. The end result will not line up for production. Just curious to know how multithreading works in Perl.
Thanks Shlomi for your heads up and explaining me the cons of Multithreading in Perl. This will just be an academic exercise for me to benchmark the previous code with newly written modules which make use of multithreading.
