Hi Monks! I'm still having the same problems... A few hundred threads in, the script decides to stop working. How should I be cleaning up after the thread has finished? Any help is appreciated. 
#! /usr/bin/perl

use threads;

$|++;
print "Running...\n";

while(1){
    opendir(DIR2,"./bgthread/process"); @list3 = readdir(DIR2); close(
+DIR2);    
    $line = "";    @items = "";
    foreach (@list3){
        $line = $_; chomp($line);
        if (($line ne ".") && ($line ne "..")){
            ($buffer,$do,$torrent) = split(/\-\.\-/,$line);
            print "Sending ($line)\n";
            $thr = threads->new(\&do_thread);
            $thr->detach;
        }
    }

    if (-e "./bgthread_refresh"){
        exit;
    }
    sleep(1);
    #system("sleep 0.5");
    print ":";
}

sub do_thread(){
    system("perl bgthread_processor.pl $line");
    #goto &nothing;
}


sub nothing(){
    #Do nothing...    
    undef $line;
}
