Er...threads have enough problems with non-deterministic behavior,
you might want to refine that "requirement" a bit ?
<p>
And I spotted a rather gruesome wart in the midst of your example:
invoking <pre>system("date")</pre> from inside a thread is not exactly
best practice (<i>you do realize system() turns into a fork()?</i>).
Consider using
<code>
print "test\n", scalar localtime(), "\n";
</code>
instead.
<p>
Of course, making that edit changes the whole behavior of the threads: since its much faster, many threads will complete before other threads have
even been started...so its not exactly simultaneous.
<p>
As [BrowserUk] mentioned, look into lock() and cond_wait().
