Hello Monks, The below code comes from perlthrtut. 
    use threads;

    $thr = threads->new(\&sub1); # Spawn the thread

    $thr->detach; # Now we officially don't care any more

    sub sub1 {
        $a = 0; 
        while (1) { 
            $a++; 
            print "\$a is $a\n"; 
            sleep 1; 
        } 
    }

Not sure I missed some point somewhere. This script ends immediately without doing anything. ( I am on WinXP pro ) This will going fine(as expected) if I use join() instead.

Will somebody tell me :
1. Why the turn out is given in this way?
2. How to create a thread and then leave it alone ? ie, I don't want to be warned for some threads not joined.
I do wish can write the whole thread declaration in a line like this : 

threads->create("t_sub1")->detach();
threads->create("t_sub2")->detach();

Thank you very much!
