in thread threading a perl script

Thank you all for the kind replies, i'll not include threading in my script after each time i read in a line. However, i'll try to thread multiple files, since i have multiple large files all to be processed the same way. I think i can thread these together, am i right?

Next question; how can I thread for example 3 files and then wait till one is finished and then the next file can be processed. In other words; how can i process, for example, always 3 files at the same time?

Kind regards, Boetsie

    It depends. You simple are not giving enough of a description of what you are doing to the files, and what you hope to gain by the use of threading, for anyone to be able to hazard a guess as to how it might be best done.

    If you posted a sample of the contents of these files; along with a tally of how many and how big these files are and how long it takes to process them and most importantly, the code you are using to process them; you might get some useful answers.
