Dear Perl Monks,
I'm trying to make a threaded TCP-server with Perl. It must run on Linux and MS-Windows, so I use threads. After some starting problems I have a server that runs without errors, but I grows with each new connect. I do no understand what is wrong. Can anyone tell my what to do to get it right?
Thanks, momo 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use IO::Socket;
use IO::Select;

my ($thr,$tid);
my $thrcnt : shared = 0;

my $port = 7070;
my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new( LocalPort => $port,
                                    Type      => SOCK_STREAM,
                                    Listen    => SOMAXCONN,
                                    ReuseAddr => 1
                                  ) or die "Can't create listen socket
+: $!";

while ((!($tid = threads->tid()))&&(my $client = $socket->accept)) { 
  $thr = threads->create(\&process_request,$client);
  $tid = threads->tid();
  print "main: $tid\n";
  $thr->detach;
}

print "done: exit\m";

##
## process the request
##
sub process_request {
  my $socket = $_[0];
  local %ENV = ();
  $thrcnt++;
  my $line = <$socket>;
  #
  #
  #do my thing
  my $ltid = threads->tid();
  print "loop: $thrcnt, $ltid\n";
  #
  #
  close $socket;
}
