something along these lines may get you started...
use strict;
use warnings;
use threads;
use Thread::Queue;
my $wq = Thread::Queue->new(); # Build a queue where you put work
my $thread_limit = 4; # how many threads do you want?
my @thr = map { # create threads and store the handles in @thr
threads->create(
sub {
while (my $item = $wq->dequeue()) { # finish when undef
# Do something with item
}
} );
} 1..$thread_limit;
while (I get $data to process) {
$wq->enqueue($data);
}
# Tell the threads we are done
$wq->enqueue(undef) for @thr;
# Wait for all the threads to finish
$_->join() for @thr;
Now go and read the docco for Threads and Thread::Queue. Its pretty good.
Cheers, R.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
