Any way to send signal from a thread to his parent thread?

anaconda_wly has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I created a thread from main listening commands from the remote. If command is an "END" command, the listening thread should notify the main to do sth. and then exit. I see Thread::signalling can notify from main thread to a child thread. How to do the reverse?

No code yet.

you could use a signal queue created with `Thread::Queue`. The children can then post messages to main on the queue. Cheers, R. Pereant, qui ante nos nostra dixerunt!	[reply] [d/l]
