As mentioned previously, I have been working on creating a CPAN version of the 'threads' module. That work is now complete, and includes the following enhancements over the core code:

• 64-bit thread IDs
• API for thread stack size (courtesy of Dean Arnold)
• Made threads->list() list/scalar context sensitive
• Implemented threads->object($tid) in XS
• Added $thr->_handle() method
• Cleaned up and enhanced POD
• Cleaned up and enhanced test suite

The module has been tested under the following Perl versions and OSs:

• Solaris 5.8.0 through 5.9.3
• ActivePerl 5.8.6 and 5.8.7
• Cygwin 5.8.8
• Linux 5.8.6

Once Artur Bergman makes me a co-maintainer for 'threads' on PAUSE, I will upload it.

If anyone is interested in obtaining a pre-upload copy of the module, please email me directly at: jdhedden AT cpan DOT org

UPDATE: Uploaded to CPAN on 3/13/06. Enjoy.
