Re^9: Multithreading, how to?

Can you explain this part of your code? ...

$Qwork->( @generation, (undef) x $noOfCores );
[download]

Is a method name supposed to have followed the "->" ??

shmem's right. I omitted the method `enqueue`, now corrected. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

No. The notation `$variable->(@args)` means de-referencing, i.e. invocation of a subroutine reference (or "anonymous subroutine"). Method invocation for `$object` is generally written as `$object->method(@args)` (unless the content of the scalar `$object` is a subroutine reference, which is rarely used). So I guess, BrowserUk really meant `$Qwork->enqueue( @generation, (undef) x $noOfCores );` [download] or such, but that's just guessing.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
