Hi all , I am using threads in my code , and somewhere in Perl documentation I saw that I shall use queues for threading - if I dont want any memory leaks. Today , I have big scripts that can simoultaniously run 24 threads , which I can see - after the threads end, the memory doesnt clean itself. I read about queues to threads in Perl , but I didnt got the idea, so I need a little help there. Is the idea is creating some pool of lets say 10 threads , and every time there is a job - the job is sent to an available thread ? my need is to each thread to return something when it ends - which I put inside a hash , and then use this hash. Can some one help me with that and explain me the theory ? thanks ! this is my current code 
   #Start new thread
      
   my $t1 = threads->new (\&$functions_name1,@parameters1);
   push(@threads,$t1);

   my $t2 = threads->new (\&$functions_name2,@parameters2);
   push(@threads,$t2);
   
   my $index=0;
   my %hash_results = ();
   foreach my $thread (@threads) #wait for all threads untill the end 
+and insert results to hash
   {
      $hash_results{$index}=$thread->join;
   }
