Re^6: Why it is important to counter FUD.

Oh dear. I guess my analogy was too big and too abstract. My point was simply that knowledge evolves.

All perl programs are threaded; and starting a second or subsequent thread is trivial. The devil is in the ITC.

Beyond simply listing the already well known mechanisms, there is generically, little more to be said beyond what is already in the documentation.

Picking the right mechanism depends entirely upon the specific of each application. And any single application might conceivably require the use of all ITC mechanisms. Picking the "right" implementation for each piece of communication likewise. It doesn't make sense to use a queue to share the state of a single value. It doesn't make sense to use a shared scalar to share a stream of values.

As for the one stop shop: This is as good a summary of those 3000 posts as I can come up with.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
