Re^4: threads and Net::OpenSSH

Oh zentara. How many times(*) do I have to explain it. (*there are many, many previous occasions if anyone cares to do the search.)

This will not work if the thread is in a blocking IO read state. Ie. The OPs problem.

You're not related to sundialsvc4 are you?

Actually, I discovered that for my purposes, what I needed was not so much "killing" a thread, as simply sending it a signal to end, which I did with Thread::Queue, with no troubles. Thanks for all the good info though.	[reply]
