Hi monks ;D I've started at Perl some months ago, and I'm stuck in the following situation. I'm trying to set a result from inside a Thread and I'm not able to do this. The code below shows how I'm trying this: 
use threads;
use strict;

my $returnn = "";

threads->new(sub {
    sleep(3);
    print "Run the thread! Variable should be set\n";
    $returnn = "bla ble bli";
});

while (1 == 1) {
    if ($returnn ne "") {
        print "It works!\n";
    } else {
        print "Doesn't work at all... :(\n";
    }
    sleep(1);
}
