Our single-threaded GUI app was freezing whenver we did dateabase reads and it looked like the app had crashed. Therefore we threaded the app and visual response significantly improved.

What alternatives are there to our problem

You had a problem, you solved it. Why are you looking for alternatives?
Because I like to know the pros and cons of possible solutions. Especially considering the fact that mst said perl threads sucked. Now, he did refuse to explain why, but he did mention those other CPAN modules as alternatives. And I also made it clear that my solution was potentially redundant/conflicting becuase Glib already had threads
(Ps. Why, uniquely do you feel the need to ask your questions in Big Bold Lettering? Are they somehow more important than other peoples questions?)
Each of us is a fingerprint of God, dont superimpose your fingerprint and its tendencies on mine.... or even waste your time in criticism. But anyway, I like to take the semantic aspects of my posts and use the visual layout to distinguish them.
