My code is like below: 
    my $tcount :shared = 0;

    while( $message = $msgQueue->poll()){
        if($tcount < 4){
            Logger::log(3, "Number of active threads : ".$tcount." pro
+cessing incomming message");
            threads->create(processData,$message,createMsgId());
        } else {
            Logger::log(2, "Maximum number of threads reached. Waiting
+");
            sleep 1 until $tcount < 4);
            threads->create(processData,$message,createMsgId());
        }
    }

    sub processData {
        $tcount++;
        # do something
        $tcount--;
        threads->exit();
    }

As per my understanding I am not creating more than 4 threads at a time. However, after running this script for a while I get: Thread creation failed: pthread_create returned 11 What wrong am I doing?
