Hello Randy,
Thanks for the quick response. I am disappointed that thread::suspend did not pass the automated test, but am glad that there is good quality control in using ActiveState products!
I don't know why thread::suspend failed your tests, though I respect the quality of it. But does this mean that thread::suspend will not work on the Win32 version of ActivePerl? I tried to understand why the module failed your tests, but the link you gave me did not say much on this.

Hello all,
I am currently exploring Perl ithreads on Windows. One of my discoveries is that some of the core threading methods like thread-centric exit(), suspend() are available only in the CPAN library. These are available in separate modules.
The odd thing is that very few of these modules are
available via PPM, with the exception of thread-exit. Is
there any reason why thread-suspend, thread-running, and
thread-signal are not made available on the PPM?
Under ActiveState's automated build system, a ppm package will be made if it builds cleanly and passes all its tests, as well as any non-core prerequisites. As can be seen from http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-T.html many of the thread-related packages don't satisfy this.
