Re: Bareword "threads::joinable" not allowed while "strict subs" in use

Best guess: the version of threads that came with 5.8.8 predates the addition of the threads::joinable constant.

Solution: Upgrade.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

I seem to recall the threads module can be updated on it's own, if upgrading the perl instance isn't an option.	[reply]

Indeed it can. But I've no idea if the latest threads would work with such an old perl.

:) The matrix knows, http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=threads+1.89 .. there are some green blocks for 5.8.8 on linux, so it would probably work	[reply]

Thanks for all above! The perl is too old,but update is too difficult to achieve. I have 20+ machines and 3+ projects running more than 3+ years. I don't know the result after update perl.	[reply]
