Re^6: Why do my threads sometimes die silenty?

What happens (*) if you change this:

my $signal = undef;
share($signal);
[download]

To: my $signal :shared; ?

I can't test it as I don't have Thread::Pool. It isn't available as a PPM for my version of Perl and I cannot be bothered to try and track down the numerous crappy, bloated dependencies it has to install it manually, given that I would never use it.

Changed the $signal declaration to `my $signal :shared;` as you suggested, and I get the same behaviour as before. The thread never returns (because of the faulty "use Blah"), but I never see the error message. Alain	[reply] [d/l]

Sorry, but I cannot even begin to see how to debug Thread::Pool. You're best bet would be to raise the problem with the maintainer.
