Thanks to Molt and to liz - Thread::Conveyor seems to be working with the following piece of code: 

#!/opt/perl-5.8.2/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use threads;
use Thread::Conveyor;

my $queue = Thread::Conveyor->new;

my $prod_thread = new threads(\&producer);
my $cons_thread = new threads(\&consumer);

$prod_thread->join;
$cons_thread->join;

sub producer {
        my $value = 1234;
        $queue->put( $value );
        $queue->put( undef );
}

sub consumer {
        while( my $returned_value = $queue->take ) {
                printf "I have been returned: %i\n", $returned_value;
        }
}
