Just a simple idea for you...can you put a shared variable in each thread called $im_alive, and set it to 1 when the thread is launched, and have the thread set it to 0 just before it exits. Of course that requires you to track each thread (and it's associated shared variable) in a hash if you have more than one thread going. There also may be timing problems in checking the shared:var, you may need to allow time for the thread to initiate before checking it. I avoided this by setting the shared var to 1 outside of the thread.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use threads;
use threads::shared;
my $im_alive : shared = 1;
my $thread = async {sleep 10;
print "Ok\n";
$im_alive = 0;
};
my $i = 0;
while (1) {
$i++;
print "$i - $thread\n";
print "im_alive->$im_alive\n";
if ($im_alive == 0) {last};
sleep 1;
};
print "im_alive->$im_alive\n";
print "hit enter to exit\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
