Just to be difficult... Why are you using multiple threads/processes/whatever? It's hard for me to judge the appropriateness of such a model when you haven't told us what you are doing, but I find that people are excessively prone to using a multi-process/thread model when there are cleaner ways to do it.
If you are monitoring multiple file handles, consider using select. If you are aggregating a bunch of data that is not apt to result in blocking system calls, e.g. waiting for user input, then just suck it all in with one thread serially.
Unless you're doing something as a learning exercise, don't go borrowing trouble. There's plenty of trouble in the world to go around without inventing any of your own. :-)

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).
