Re: is_joinable question

main did not wait because is_joinable returned false, so you didn't join

if you want to wait for $thrHandle, simply join, join blocks, join waits until the thread over, until it is_joinable

example you give works, but I didn't understand difference between threads->list( threads::joinable ) and is_joinable yet `while( threads->list ) { for my $joinable ( threads->list( threads::joinable ) ) { $joinable->join; } }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I can ask my kids "is mom home yet?" and get a yes or no answer. I can also ask them to wait outside until their mom gets back. The first is like `is_joinable`, the second is like `join`. One gets a yes or no answer, the other blocks until it is done. Update: Ignore me. Didn't read the question completely. --MidLifeXis	[reply] [d/l] [select]
