Under Windows using 5.8.6 I get the following (using a slightly modified version of your code):

just received - 1 0 1 just received - 2 0 2 just received - 3 0 3 1 1 1 2 running.. 1 3 2 1 2 2 running.. 2 3 3 1 3 2 running.. 3 3 4 1 4 2 running.. 4 3 5 1 5 2 5 3 running.. 6 1 6 2 running.. 6 3 7 1 7 2 running.. 7 3 8 1 8 2 running.. 8 3 9 1 9 2 running.. 9 3 running.. running.. running.. running.. running.. running..
use warnings; use strict; use Config; $Config{useithreads} || die "Recompile Perl with threads to run this p +rogram."; use threads; #use threads::shared; #use Thread::Running; #use Thread::Signal; #use Thread::Queue; sub ithread { my $i; my $arg=shift||''; print "just received - $arg\n"; foreach(1...10) { print $i++, " $arg \n"; sleep(1); } } foreach(1...3) { my $thread = threads->create( "ithread", "$_" ); } foreach(1...15) { sleep(1); print "running..\n"; } exit;

Perl is Huffman encoded by design.
