Re^5: parallel process on remote machines,read results and hanle timeout of those process

1. What is the advantage of persistent data structure? all data in the same block of memory,fast speed? It is suitable for what kind of needs?
2. If not use nfreeze, I mean, just use

It is quite hard to answer those questions without seeing their actual use in context.

On the face of it, it doesn't make a lot of sense to freeze a hash in order to return it from a subroutine.

The only possible (tentative) clue I can glean from the snippet you've posted comes from the name %testresults. It is possible that the code goes on to compare those results with a pre-frozen, known good results hash; in which case the author might be relying upon doing a binary compare of the frozen hashes rather than having to do a looping, possibly recursive traversal to compare them. If so, it might be cleverly efficient; or just obscurely dangerous.

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.

Hello BrowserUK, I ask another question about sysread/non-blocking filehandle, but I have not find the right answer yet. `http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=1106019` [download] If you have time, could you have a look of my code in the thread above? Thanks!	[reply] [d/l]
