Re^2: Multi-threading ping of a list of hosts.....Again!

A couple of questions about your code:

Why accumulate your thread handles into @kids when you never use them again?
Why not detach the threads at creation when you don't use the returns?

Please note. There is no implied critism here, just comparing notes.

FWIW, I like your technique of enqueuing undefs to terminate your loops. It's much cleaner than several things I've used.

I sort of "converted" someone elses program model, and never cleaned it up after proving that it worked , so it has leftover junk. Since this was just a "test program", I did not bother to do the cleanup, so, points taken. Thanks. Earth first! (We'll rob the other planets later)	[reply]
