Is there a way to stop the thread->join from closing all spawn_ids? Scenario: I am using Perl Expect to connect to Console of TestSetup: I have 3 console connections in all. In additioan to the above, I have SSH connection to the test setup. Iam initializing a thread to which I provide SSH connection id (spawn_id) as input. Sub routine attached to this thread is performing search function. Sub routine returns 0 if search fails and 1 if successful. in the main program after calling the thread i wait for the thread to join. As soon as i calll join function, spawn_id of ssh connection is closed. Issue: Even connections to console (3 connections I made are getting closed. Note that i have only passed ssh connection id to the thread.
