Re^2: Threaded PERL: Practical Programming Excercises for Beginning Threaded Programming

Hi BrowseUk Thanks for this insight. In practical terms, what this means to me is that I could take any common programming problem and try to implement it as threaded, thereafter evaluating the results compared to a non-threaded implementation.

I could take any common programming problem and try to implement it as threaded, thereafter evaluating the results compared to a non-threaded implementation. Indeed. Though that could describe simply wrapping `async{ ... }->join;` around any existing program code. A better starting point would be to think about the type of programs you usually write and how they might benefit from the use of threading. 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] [d/l]
