This is your most disingenuous post to date. (The latest in a very long line.)

Below is a simple experiment using your exact posted code from Re^2: Threads sharing global variable; that anyone running windows and a few versions of perl installed, can conduct for themselves in around five minutes, and see your dishonesty for themselves.

This is your code running under This is perl, v5.10.1 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread:

<Reveal this spoiler or all spoilers in this node or all in this thread>

Summary: It produces 287(*) lines of output before hanging. (Varies from run to run; but that's typical.)

This is your code running under This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread:

<Reveal this spoiler>

Summary: It produces 817* lines of output. (Usually runs a little longer than under 5.10, but of 20 runs this was the most output before hanging.)

This is your code running under This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 0 (v5.22.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread:

<Reveal this spoiler>

Summary: It produces 479* lines of output before hanging! (After 10 runs the average was around 700 lines, but that included one run that gave nearly 2000 lines and another that produced 17.)

Your code hangs under Windows, regardless of the version. That it produces any output at all is pure chance.

I'm also now firmly convinced that it will hang everywhere -- even under Linux -- if left running long enough, because a signal will eventually be missed and it will deadlock. This is inevitable; but is an exercise for someone else to (dis)prove.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
