Hey there monks,

I'm working on a unix environment and perl version 5.16.3

I wanted to create a basic program using threads, so I could understand the basics of it. But, I facing some problems.

I have a variable named "$test". I want to print this variable every time it is increased by one in the while loop

I'm using the following code: 

 use threads;
use threads::shared;
my $test :shared;
$test = 0;
testing_thread();

sub testing_thread {
my $thr1 = threads->create(\&progress_count, $test);
while ($test <= 100) {
$test += 1;
}
$thr1->join();
}

sub progress_count {
    print $test, " \n";
}

When I excute the script, it only prints the variable $test for one time and that is when it is "101"

Anybody some thoughts on how to print every value of the variable $test? Help is much appreciated!

Many thanks in advance
