How about I send you to a website instead so we don't waste vroom's precious MySQL space. How's this? or this FAQ? Also, take at look at non-blocking I/O in congruence with Threads. For those of you who haven't noticed yet, I like to use Threads;. Of course, the Pthreads are currently much better than PerlThreads but supposedly someone somewhere is working on this. The way to go is threads if you want to optimize reads and writes (simulataneous read/write buffering, that is, Texas Tea).

I've heard that the new version of ActiveState gave up on porting the PerlThreads. I can't tell if that's good or bad. The POSIX module does not support POSIX Threads which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but perhaps it would require a brutal rewrite. The reason to be careful with non-blocking I/O is that as Forrest Gump would say, "You never know" what is gonna pop out into a frickin' var. So, BIG TIP: ERROR HANDLING, VAR VALIDITY CHECKS!!!

Damn, I have a big mouth. I should study for Biology now...
