calling exit() (I know, it is not recommended)
Then don't do that.
If you want to trap an abnormal exit from a thread, use eval & die just like you normally would: use strict;
use threads;
use threads::shared;
my $inthread : shared;
# the exit handler (END block) is never called when a thread performs
+an exit()
# using a lower main sleep time will result in a normal exit of the ma
+in thread.
my $threadsleeptime : shared = 2;
my $mainsleeptime = 5;
my $thread = async {
eval {
$inthread = 1;
sleep($threadsleeptime);
print "Sleep in thread finished\n";
die('abnormal exit');
};
if( $@ =~ /^abnormal exit/ ) {
## do cleanup
print "doing cleanup in thread\n";
}
}
sleep($mainsleeptime);
print "Sleep in main finished\n";
$thread->join if ($thread);
print "End of main program\n";
__END__
C:\test>junk29
Sleep in main finished
Sleep in thread finished
doing cleanup in thread
End of main program

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
