Heh.

The truth is that people will use threads. Why? First of all they are the best solution to certain classes of user interaction problems. Also a lot of people think that they are cool. And programmers who are used to languages or environments where you thread everywhere just find them familiar. Therefore it makes sense for p5p to try to support them.

What I would like is for people to not get burned by using threads where it doesn't make sense to.

For one description of why it sometimes doesn't make sense to use them, see Threads vs Forking (Java vs Perl).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
