Re^5: Need help with Perl multi threading

With regard to:

foreach my $host ( @servers )
{
    threads->new(\&process, $host )->join();
}
[download]

... creating a new thread and then immediately joining it is a waste of time; join waits for the thread to finish.

In this case, detach is probably better. Otherwise, keep an array of all threads and after you've created all of them, then join all of them.

BrowserUK and I said essentially the same thing. If you write your thread code as you did, you're not getting any advantage of threading. All of your threads will run serially.	[reply]
