A while back, MCE::Hobo spawned children on the Windows platform until recently, now threads. Hence, one might want the thread-id in the output. There is no "wait" equivalent for threads. Therefore, MCE::Hobo->waitone is not yet optimized on Windows. Other MCE::Hobo methods are fine.

use strict;
use warnings;

use if $^O eq 'MSWin32', 'threads';
use Time::HiRes 'time';
use MCE::Hobo;

my $tid = 0;

sub CLONE {
    $tid = threads->tid() if $INC{'threads.pm'};
}

sub mhobo ($$&) {
    my ($count, $max, $code) = @_;

    foreach my $c (1 .. $count) {
        MCE::Hobo->waitone() unless $c <= $max;
        exit(255) unless defined (my $h = MCE::Hobo->create($code, $c)
+);
    }

    MCE::Hobo->waitall();
}

my $start = time;
mhobo(12, 4, sub { my $x = 1e8; $x-- while $x; print "$$.$tid\n"; });
printf "Seconds: %0.03f\n", time - $start;

Please know that MCE::Hobo was an exercise for a threads-like or forks-like companion to MCE::Shared.
