Hi Guys,

Below Program creates 3 Threads and each execute ls command for given input path .But this program hangs,seems to be issue with executing ls command.can you please help me out here.

(Note: i don't want to use here lock,as it will be sequential execution not parallel )

use threads; 
use threads::shared; 
my %hash:shared =1; 
my @array=("c:\\Myscripts","c:\\Temp","c:\\Dropbox"); 
foreach(@array){ 
push @threads, threads->create(\&execute_ls, $_); 
} 
foreach (@threads) { 
   $_->join(); 
} 
while(($key,$val)=each %hash){ 
print("$key:$val\n"); 
} 
sub execute_ls{ 
 my $ip=shift; 
 $hash{$ip}=`ls -1 $ip`; 
 }
