Hi Arnold,
Thanks for your reply.
The OS in which I am running perl is on Windows 2000. Further, I dont was
to use any UI interface for input/output. Basically, there are set of
independent activities which I should be performing everyday as a backup.
Now presently I have one perl script which does this in sequence. This
takes longer time to finish (almost 8 hrs). Now I wanted to use threads and
perform the tasks in parallel so that it finished sooner. While doing this,
to know which thread did what and what was its error/output messages, I
wanted to run them(threads) in separate shell window. Hope I am a bit clear
this time in explaining what I wanted.
Any thoughts?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards

You failed to mention which OS you're targeting ?
With some effort, a Perl/Tk UI might be a reasonable
alternative; but you'll need to run Perl/Tk in its
own thread, and use a Thread::Queue (or Thread::Queue::Duplex)
to communicate between the threads and the UI widgets.
Pseudocode-wise:
create 10 Thread::Queue's
Start Perl/TK in a thread
Perl/Tk creates 10 TopLevel text widgets
Perl/Tk polls the queues for activity
start 10 threads, handing each their own queue
Alternately, on Win32, you might start 10 cmd.exe's via
Win32::Process, and communicate via pipes. I'm certain there's
an equivalent in *nix using /dev/tty or somesuch, but my
POSIX system programmer skills are a bit rusty.
