I'm wondering if it's possible to continue in my same method call after I've killed the thread. Currently I call a sub that spawns a new thread and once the thread has done it's job it gets killed. My issue is that I'm unable to continue in the initial thread call after it has been killed. I hope that makes sense. Here is what I'm doing: 
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use Thread::Queue;

# Signal Handler
$SIG{'KILL'} =
    sub {
        # Tell user we've been terminated
        printf("           %3d <- Killed\n", threads->tid());
        # Detach and terminate
        threads->detach() if ! threads->is_detached();
    threads->exit();
    };

StartThread();

sub StartThread {
    
    my @threads = threads->list();

    # Check to see if there any running threads
    foreach ( @threads ) {

        print "Killing thread ... ";
        $_->kill('KILL');
        print "Done\n";
    }

    # Spawn new thread
    my $worker = threads->create(\&StartTest );
}

sub StartTest {

    for ( 0..10 ) {
    print "I: $_\n";
    }

    StartThread();
}

I'm trying to create a new thread by calling the StartThread after it prints to 10.
