Um, you obtain $CONSOLE at the top of your code and "share" it via closure(*) with the thread routine.

And in your thread routine you use $CONSOLE...once. Then, for no apparent reason, you switch to using $threadCONSOLE which is never declared or initialised.

And despite your post showing use strict; at the top, when I try syntax checking it, I get:

C:\test>perl -c 632320.pl Global symbol "$i" requires explicit package name at 632320.pl line 17 +. Global symbol "$i" requires explicit package name at 632320.pl line 17 +.

Global symbol "$outPattQty" requires explicit package name at 632320.p +l line 69. syntax error at 632320.pl line 73, near ") {" 632320.pl has too many errors.

Update: hacking my way past all the errors and warnings, your code seems to run:


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."
