Have seen a lot of posts about not using Perl library 'X' for pools/etc. For 5.24 (or better) is that still the prevailing perspective? (eg: no better mouse trap)

:) what are you asking?

I've seen all the posts, you don't know what you're asking, and that is an answer in itself

Have seen the use of "usleep", is that the best method for "idling" a worker thread?

That is pretty much the only method for idiling, nothing else is idle.

Is there a way to achieve the benefit of the while loop (avoid CPU cycle consumption while idle), but then issue of providing results to <STDOUT> the moment (or very close to when) they are available?

What is a moment?

Thats not just a question, that is the answer , that is how long you should (ask to) idle.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
