in reply to Perl && threads && queues - how to make all this work together

Here is my code(I used binary access to be able to operate very large files):

What do you mean by binary access? I don't see a binmode which would ensure that raw bytes are obtained (which is what is usually meant by binary mode).

Update: bah, I'm blind.

    blind, maybe; can't tell from here. the real problem as i see it is that you know more about Perl than most monks around herw. but you express that higher knowledge by treating (many) other monks as if they are st00Pid. the not-so-thinly-veiled derision in your initial comment is unbecoming of someone who could (should?) offer more constructive comments. if the less-experienced monks in attendance really piss you off so much, would it not be a less stressful use of your time to do something else? take up yoga; meditate; run a marathon; but don't be a duckhead.

      Given what I saw for his code at the time, I couldn't understand what he said. I asked what he meant, giving my interpretation so he could correct it or let me know what I missed.

      How is that derisive or treating someone (other than myself) as stupid?

        and therein lies the problem. you did not see because you did not look. rather, you ASS-U-MEd that the OP was doing something St00Pid when you could have easily checked whether binmode was used (hint: your browser has a FIND capability that would let you search for binmode in the OPs posted code.

        imo, you did not treat yourself as stupid. whether you acted stupidly is a matter of interpretation. for my money, you were a duckhead for shooting off your keyboard before you really checked what was in the OPs post.
