RE: threads package missing is_running (solvedish)

I thought about the locking approach, but this will all eventually be wrapped into a Windows services tool that will shutdown the service gracefully. The way services work, the process needs to ping the service control manager once in a while when it is still running. So, if a thread didn't shutd

RE: threads package missing is_running

I'd love it if I could just upgrade perl, but corporate bureaucracy sucks and the new versions need approval for security purposes. I initially tried it with 5.6.1 with less success, and 5.8.0 seems to be very close less the is_running issue. All I really need is some way to determine if the thre

Re: threads package missing is_running

Yes, the threads module comes pre-packaged with ActivePerl, and does not appear to exist according to PPM, so it's not upgradable without upgrading ActivePerl, which involves me dealing with company red-tape. The elusive "is_running.al" shouldn't need to exist outside of the module itself. It's a
