    As has been explained to you *countless* times windows threads are used to emulate processes and those emulated processes are then used to emulate threads.

    Perl threads (which has nothing to do with Windows) don't emulate threads. They may or may not be threads by your definition, but they definitely don't emulate threads.

    If they don't have the properties of (your definition of) threads, then they don't emulate threads.

    If they have the properties of (your definition of) threads, then they are threads, and thus can't emulate threads.

    Ad-hominem attacks are not appropriate on this forum.

    Since Perl is open source, all you have to do is point at the source code portions that back up your claims.

      Exactly. Please scroll up and you'll see me point this out to browseruk who initially got personal for absolutely no reason.
        I was talking to you binary. I have looked, and nowhere do you point at the source code portions that back up your claims. My understanding of win32 fork emulation and perl threads seems to agree with what BrowserUk is saying.
