Thank you very much. Mario's idea is the solution for me. I just removed the x1 from the "create" call and changed the name to "__test__" to make it look more private. Passing only $self to the "test" routine is sufficient.

The reply about returning values is interesting as well, but it won't work in my application. The code I posted here is missing the work actually being done by the "test" routine, it's a bit more than "sleep 10". ;-) The procedure will start another application that will report a ready state after some time and then continue until it gets terminated. The "waiter" will have to wait for this ready state, not the end of the thread.
