Re^3: Help On Perl - Multi Threading

None that I have seen.

perlthrtut is little more that a verbose expansion of the threads pod. More reference than tutorial. All how and no why.

Imagine someone asking the question: "I want to bake a pie".

You could tell them about making pastry. You might mention the difference between savoury and sweet pastry. You could attempt to cover the need for a light touch and the affect of hand temperature upon pastry texture. You might mention blind baking. You might list some cooking temperature/time guidelines. You could talk about wet and dry fillings; and the need vent steam; and soggy crusts.

But unless you start out by asking them the type of pie they are wanting to bake; the kind of filling they envisage; and how many people they are hoping to serve; most all of that advice is just going to set them up for disappointment.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the question here is if the documentation is terribad, can you direct the person to a document or book more appropriate? Update: That is the equivalent of directing a student to pastry baking classes teaching techniques and foundation as opposed to asking them questions to which they have no background.	[reply]

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the question here is if the documentation is terribad, can you direct the person to a document or book more appropriate? And my answer is: "No. I cannot. Because I do not know of anything existing that is more appropriate". Didn't I say that? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"I am a pastry chef and I have no idea how I became one", is that accurate?	[reply]
