in reply to Perl5.8.4 , threads - Killing the "async" kid

Why does "top" show me three process running even though no Login threads are running?

Depending on the thread-implementation that’s being used in your Perl and/or in your operating system, “threads” might appear as “processes.”   For instance, the NPTL (New Posix Threads Library ... an operating-system feature) appeared in later versions of Linux but not earlier ones ...)   As you may have guessed, I simply don’t know about details of the Threads packages in the earlier Perls.

    You don't even know the difference between threads & Thread as you keep conflating the two. And yet, you continue to keep offering advice based upon your misreading of the documentation.
