in reply to Perl threads - telling them urgent stuff

Signal is per process, not per thread. this is not the fault of Perl, and is dictated by the system.

    This is not true if you're running under Linux. Not sure whether that is by design of Perl, or by fluke. But it does allow my Thread::Signal to function.

    Having said that, I would be in favor of either:

    • expanding Thread::Signal to other platforms, using other message passing means.
    • or, obsoleting Thread::Signal by another message passing means that would allow running on all platforms on which Perl can run with threads.

    If anybody has any idea on how to go about doing this, let him/her come forward ;-)

    Liz

    I realise that, what I'm looking for is something that works like signal but for threads instead of processes. In fact what I'm looking for is anything that would solve the above problem.
