Re: Re: Multi-Threading in Perl

Excuse me for having to make this separate thread, but here's an article that I found posted on this site by a fellow monk. It relates to 'threading' and how to use fork() under Windows OS for that matter (after all the functionality _is_ there... ;-). http://www.geeksalad.org/fork/all.html

while fork() does work under windows it has a number of problems. If you use a module that has XS that is not thread safe fork() emulation will probably crash your program. It also has a problem with the regular expresion engin under some circumstances. Any one wanting to use fork() on windows should read the perlfork docs throughly.	[reply]
