I'm writing my things multithreaded to gain some speed by using several cores of CPU,

....i don't see exactly what your problem is with the timestamp....it prints out....what do you expect it to do?

...as far as using Perl threads to gain a performance benefit, you may be barking up the wrong tree...... Perl threads are not as solid as c pthreads, and you may actually find that threading slows you down.... if you search the nodes here, or google it, you will find that Perl threads don't give you speed thru concurrency..... in Perl the main thread gets a priority, and the time slice gets divided amoung the it's threads..... no concurrency..... just a thought before you start banging your head on the wall over thread speed ... :-)

...additionally, i don't think Perl has any capability to tell the system to utilize different cpu's, for each thread, that's the kernel's job

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
