RE: what is the scope of detached threads?

[Ray Hilton]

Ok, I try:

use threads;

&foo;
sub foo {
        my $thr = threads->new(\&bar);
        $thr->detach;
}

sub bar {
        sleep(3);
        print "bar\n";
}

And I get:

A thread exited while 2 other threads were still running.

And no evidence of bar\n being printed.  What is this create function
you have?  Is that the same as new()?

that thread will sleep 2 seconds then stop running.
