Threading on the level you are talking about is unlikely to happen (search the archives!).
If what you are writing is criticial enough to need multi-threading over multi-processing, you are probably using the wrong language :-) BTW: Under linux, fork() is cheap and there is not much difference between a fork()ed process and a pthread_create()ed "thread". BTW2: socket_select() allows your script to multiplex multiple incoming sockets without the need to fork or thread. BTW3: ext/sysvmsg (new in CVS) might make IPC between your fork()ed children a bit easier. I'm working on the docs right now; they will show up in the online manual within the next couple of days. --Wez.
