in thread threads question

Ah, indeed, silly me. Never thought all the Thread::something modules were actually intended to work with the threads module, due to the difference in name. Looks like a whole lotta sexy code just waiting for me to put it to good use.

Many thanks indeed.

    Yes. The namespaces are confusing.

    Unfortunately, several of the Thread::* modules intended for use with 5005threads are non-useful with ithreads, but will likely never be removed or upgraded.

    The good news is that liz generated several new modules that are. Thread::Use is small and rather uninspiringly named, but extremely Use-ful.

      it is indeed :-) saves me a good chunk of memory even with just 5 threads running. Tx for the tip.
