Re^7: threads and Net::OpenSSH

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.

sending it a signal to end, which I did with Thread::Queue, Interesting. How did you arrange to read the queue and the socket at the same time? With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' 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. The start of some sanity?	[reply]

Sorry, I was using the wrong terminology. I meant 'signal' in a generic sense of 'message'. No sockets.	[reply]
