Very Cool!

Question: How would you modify this so that the main process could send messages/data to the threads?

I don't have a true multi-processor system, so I can't say whether this is faster than just running one big sequential file, but it is a useful techique for monitoring the output of threads.

My machine has 8 cores (Intel Core i7) and this is the result after running it: 

jdrago999@e6510:~$ time perl Desktop/thread-prime.pl
........lots of output here..........
real    0m3.314s
user    0m11.540s
sys    0m0.490s
