Greetings Monks, As I have just reinstalled slackware on my laptop, I start out with Perl 5.6.1. I have read that Perl 5.8.0 has better threading support even over 5.6.1. I have searched nodes for threading and found a node from 2000 that says "DON'T DO THREADS in perl." This is more of a general question to all of you to get an idea of who has successfully used threads in perl. In the evil world of java, threading is simple, such as a clock applet I created.
