Tho this list seems a bit quiet, I figured I'd post some relevant module announcements.
I've been working on a large scale threaded perl application, and, as a result, have implemented some supporting thread infrastructure modules: Thread::Queue::Duplex (http://search.cpan.org/~darnold/Thread-Queue-Duplex-0.14/lib/Thread/Queue/Duplex.pm) provides a request/response thread queue capability. DBIx::Threaded (http://search.cpan.org/~darnold/DBIx-Threaded-0.10/lib/DBIx/Threaded.pm) provides an apartment threaded version of DBI, permitting DBI objects to be shared between Perl threads. Thread::Apartment (http://www.presicient.com/thrdapt) attempts to provide generalized apartment threading support for Perl objects in order to make OO Perl and threads play a bit nicer. Importantly, I hope to provide thread safety to legacy Perl objects (e.g., Perl/Tk). Its not yet ready for CPAN, but hopefully will be in a week or so. Comments/concerns/suggestions welcome.
