Thanks for your answer, Shmuel! If I understand correctly, I have two options then: 1. _not_ let the main thread return back from the XS. That is, I move the sleep(0) from the perl script into the init() function. Would that break anything withhin perl? 2. I need to create a second perl interpreter (or clone the first one). Can somebody point me to example code how to do that?
