in thread Efficient non-blocking UDP server
I would be surprised if Thread::Queue would have the performance needed for handling hundreds of UDP packets.
If you realise that a shared array (to which Thread::Queue is a very simple frontend) stores its valus both in the current thread as well as in the hidden background thread. Not very performance friendly.
If you want to try Thread::Queue for this application, make sure that you have Perl 5.8.1 or higher, as 5.8.0 has a severe memory leak with shared arrays.
