I would avoid trying to do this with threads. You can handle it all from a single thread using IO::Select::can_read to handle any pending inbound socket traffic and can_write to make sure a write won't block (or you can use non-blocking IO). Use sysread/write to do the actual IO. I can't think of any reason to use threads to do this on Win32 - you're asking for trouble. If you insist on using threads, do as previously suggested and do all of the socket processing in one thread. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
