Hey again,
I have another problem, this time involving threads. Here's what I intend to
do, and what I have in code (roughly).
Basically, I want my program to run normally, but also have a while (1) {
... } loop going at the same time. This checks for things such as expired
objects. The loop checks to see if $currtime >= $akill{$id}->{expires}, it
does this, but the way I activated the thread, it only does something when
something else happens in the program.
Code wise, I have:
sub akilltimeout {
while (1) {
# do time checking here
sleep 1;
}
}
This is executed within another sub by threads, when the program is ready to
start it, with:
$t = Thread->new(\&akilltimeout);
I'm using "Thread" not "threads". What am I doing wrong? Is "threads" better
than "Thread", and will it do what I want it to?
Many thanks.
Dan
