Fisrt, take a look at POD for thread on Perl:

Perl threads tutorial (threads)
Old Perl threads tutorial (Thread)

Note that Perl 5.7+ has a new thread implementation, called ithreads, in the module "threads", and you still can access the old implementation, in the module Thread.

I don't know if the module Thread::Queue will work with ithreads (threads), since this module was inside the old way (Thread)!

You can see in the end of Thread POD, this comments on "See Also":

threads::shared (not available with 5005threads)

attributes, Thread::Queue, Thread::Semaphore, Thread::Specific (not available with ithreads)

Take a look at threads::share and the lock() function for a safe way to work with a shared list (since Thread::Queue is for a shared data structure, like a list).
