actually im tryin to test a dhcp server Ah! So you are the Monk formerly known as drip, who posted Multi Threading help two days ago. The answer to your question was clearly indicated in that other thread. Unfortunately, it would appear that that you do not have enough knowledge of the task you are undertaking to recognise it.

S'funny, but a handwriting analysis of your 9 posts and his 7 puts the likelyhood of your being the same person at close to 95%.

I really don't know much details about networking, but there is 23 packages on CPAN when I search for dhcp dhcp, there is probably one for your use there. Now, waiting is one of those thing you actually can do a lot of at any instance, so threads or multiple proccesses (fork) makes a lot of sense in this case. To know what your results tell you, you will have to exercise fine controll over the number of concurrent requests to the server, i.e. how often to send another request, Time::HiRes can help with that. Try to start programming, and post code and direct questions if/when you're stuck. Update: After reading BrowserUk's answer right above; forget what I wrote here and study sundialsvc4's ansver in that other thread. It's very good. cheers	[reply]
