jethro - thanks, I've thought about it, but not as deep as needed! :) BrowserUk - I am very pleased that an expert in threading tries to help me! But can you tell more about some lines of your code: At a first look I thought that you code is placing all lines of file in queue in one time. But when I changed printf "%3d: (%10d, %10d) :%s", $tid, $pos, $size, $line; to printf "%3d: (%10d, %10d, %10d) :%s", $tid, $pos, $size, $Q->pending, $line; I saw that I wasn't right in my conclusion. So, can you explain - how code in block "while( !eof FILE ) {" interacts with code in thread sub in just the right way? It is placed outside the sub. Or the trick is that you placed the join procedure only after the while loop, not just after the 'create' sub? Yes, I made a mistake when wrote my own proc with reading a lines with binary access, I've just forgot about the 'tell' function. Why 'abs($threadscnt-1)'? Because I was taught to make all my programs with even though dawns of 'fool-proof' input.
