"...whatever it was, it wasn't doing anything useful."

Well, i would say it depends.

It was for learning purposes, a kind of finger exercise.

I didn't mention that i don't have any experience using threads in Perl. My first approach.

I always felt like i'll miss something if i don't go over that next bridge.

My little effort was also inspired by my last thread about P::FM, because that stuff doesn't work on windows. I am sorry that i can't show the error messages, because i don't have a windows box with Perl installed at my disposal tonight.

Also pure curiosity played a role. I have a basic understanding how a counting semaphore works but this stuff is still a kind of magic for me.

And the code i figured out looks very similar to my forking example and doesn't perform so bad.

That's why i couldn't resist.

My very best regards, Karl
