Re^3: perl threads and perl versions

Of course the challenge is which version fixed the problem. any clues on that one?

The "problem" is that you are trying to use functions that were not a part of the module at that time.

Any version after 1.59 will not give the error you posted. But I strongly advise going for the latest version available when you upgrade.

excellent, and I do agree with your comments about going with the latest. only problem is I can't control what people run on their boxes when they run my code nor can I easily dictate. -mark	[reply]

Fair enough, but you could `use threads 1.67;` or whatever version has all the features/fixes you are dependant upon.
