I would agree, except that i get this message even when I recieve the ENDEND on the other end of the queue for every test (or thread, since I have 1 thread per test + the one to rule them all).

in perl 5.8.8 is there any equivalent of thread->exit()? Can I explicitly kill threads in anyway?

interestingly enough if i do a threads->list() right before the main script exits, I don't get any response.

In this run, I only have two threads, (i.e. one test running), plus thread 0 and it is still reporting exiting with two running.

The code: 
my @list = threads->list();

print Dumper(\@list);

print "\ntotal time: ", format_time( tv_interval($t0) ), "\n";

__END__

The output: 
$VAR1 = [];

total time: 0:1:1.26
A thread exited while 2 threads were running.
