    If you only need to run your script on Linux/Unix systems, then, consider using processes (via fork) instead of threads.

      I enabled forks as follows by using system call to create a new terminal to run each ftp/sftp connection in a seperate perl script. It's able to execute but I am having issues when my parameters(@fields) contain bracket. I am not able to pass parameters which contains bracket. 
      unless (fork())
{
         system("xterm -T $fields[0] -e \.\/uploader\.pl $index @field
+s"); 
    exit(0);
}

      After executing the window closes automaticaly. Is there a way to make it halt until the user press a key to exit or so. I tried to have a  <> at the end of the uploader script. But doesn't help

        Found a solution for the terminal to wait for user input from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=882185 
         
system("gnome-terminal -x bash -c './uploader.pl $index @fields; read 
+-n1'");

        But still I am not sure on how to fix the bracket issue.
