Hi, I have one module that I would like to use forks and another I would like to use ithreads. Here is pseudo code for what I want to do:
Module1 Use threads; Use threads::shared; Use Module 2; sub thread_it { Code that uses threads/threads::shared } sub fork_it { my $mod2 = Module2->new() $mod->fork_it() }
Module2 Use forks; Use forks::shared; sub fork_it { code that runs forks here }
Main script
my $mod1 = Module1->new() $mod1->fork_it() $mod1->thread_it()
The problem is that once forks and forks::shared loads, they redefine the functions of threads and threads::shared. Once I am done with fork_it(), how do I redefine the functions back to threads and threads::shared? Thanks much
