Simple Thread question

[Wong, Danny H.]

Hi Thread Guru's,
    I'm just reading up on Perl threads for the first time from
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlthrtut.html
<http://perldoc.perl.org/perlthrtut.html> .

After reading the document and trying out a test script myself. Can
someone tell me what I'm doing something wrong? It's a simple copy
function that copies a big file ~50MB, but I was hoping that the copying
happens in parallel but its not. Any ideas what I need to do? I'll like
to try the boss-worker and pipeline method. any information would great.
thanks for your help.

Here is my code?

use threads;

use File::NCopy <file::NCopy>  qw (copy);

my $FILE='c:\tmp\ADK61292p-Explorer8010hd-ATSC-SA-pKey.zip';

my $DIR1='C:\tmp\test1';

my $DIR2='C:\tmp\test2';

my $THREAD_1 = threads->create(\&COPYTOTESTAREA, ${FILE}, ${DIR1});
print "Thread 1" . $THREAD_1->join() ." is done\n";



my $THREAD_2 = threads->create(\&COPYTOTESTAREA, ${FILE}, ${DIR2});
print "Thread 2" . $THREAD_2->join() ." is done\n";



sub COPYTOTESTAREA

{

my ($SOURCE, $DESTINATION) = @_;

copy("${SOURCE}", "${DESTINATION}");

return "I'm done";

}
