Perl Threads

I'm new to threading in perl and I need some advice/help/sample code.
I basically want to loop for a while and spawn say 5 threads each
doing something. As a thread ends I want to check it's exit status
and spawn the thread again. Now I want to exit the loop after a
period of time but I also want the threads to finish completely before
exiting the loop. I've looked into some thread pool and queue stuff
but I'm still unsure as to what will suit my needs in this case.
Anybody got any ideas?

Hello, This is not a troll posting, and I've refrained from asking because I've seen similar threads get all nitter-nattery. But I really want to make a decision on how best to invest my time. I'm not interested on which language is better in *general*, just for my purpose. My area of research is in CAD algorithms, and I'm sensing the need to resort to something more expedient than C++, bash scripting, or sed scripting.

I was building perl 5.8.2 on RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (AS) today and noticed that it included in it's ccflags "-DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS." I am building with -Dusethreads. With newer Linux distributions using the Native Posix Threading Layer (NPTL), this isn't entirely true anymore and is AFAIK unsupported (using a pid to signal/identify threads). I removed it from my config.sh script and ran Configure -der. make test runs just fine. ...

Hello everyone, I'm a perl beginner. I created a piece of code starting a first thread which in turn creates a second thread. Unfortunately the creation of the second thread hangs the first one. Is there anybody who knows what's going on ?. I decided to create fully OO software and I wouldn't like to go back into a fork-based solution. I also included my test application (I know there are no joins but it's only for testing purposes)

Hello, I have a rather odd question. My company is an all java/oracle shop. We do everything is Java... no matter what it is... parsing of text files, messaging, gui you name it. My question is this... is Perl so much better at parsing text files and outputing that we would see a substantial speed increase? We process about 10 million records in flat files a day for reformatting before putting them in a DB. Also, when it comes to...

Hi, I am facing the build problem while installing the DBD-MySql perl module (ver 2.9008) using both GCC and CC compilers in HP-UX machine. For the Build using GCC, the compiler error is produced due to the unknown GCC compiler option "+DAportable". For the Build using CC, the preprocessor error is produced due to the recursive declration of macro "PerlIO" in perlio.h file.

So, I download the latest "stable" tar for perl (5.8.7) and try to compile it on the Solaris 8 (SPARC) box that I administrate. I try all sorts of different switches, but I can't get it to compile. I need it to be compiled with threads. Anyone have any wisdom on how best to do this? Here's a transcript of my latest attempt. It's long; you might want to skip to the bottom, where I try "make" and the fatal errors start happening.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
