Re^3: How do I used a threaded subroutine inside a perl object

You could try it this way:

$thread = threads->create( \&_openFDCObject, $self, $swObject, $switch
+ );

Which should work in as much as the thread should start and run the method, but after that I suspect things will not the way you are expecting them to.

But frankly, it would be too hard to explain why to you, you'll need to learn by your mistakes.

Thanks for the information, it run threaded with the syntax you gave me. As you said, the outcome wasn't what I expect. Also, based on all of the other research I have done on threads in perl, most folks say it isn't worth using threads since they aren't lightweight. I will skip using threads and look for other ways to decrease the time it takes for the object to initialize.	[reply]

If you would describe the wider picture -- eg. post the full code -- then what you want can almost certainly be solved using threads. But if you want to believe people who've no real knowledge of threads and do things the hard way; I wish you the very best of luck.
