in reply to Creating threads inside BEGIN blocks

I think it depends very much on which version of Perl you are using, and lately, which version of threads.pm you are using (as threads now is dual-life, so more up to date on CPAN than any non-blead/maint perl).

My personal experience on Linux was that some warnings would occur on process exit. I haven't seen those for a while now. But then again, I haven't been doing much with threads the past 2.5 years anyway.

I hope someone with more up-to-date information will be more able to enlighten you.

    Thanks, I am using version 5.8.8 build 587 for Win32 and whichever version of threads.pm that is bundled with that (looks like ver 1.12), but I should probably update to the latest version...
