in reply to Perl5.8.4 , threads - Killing the "async" kid

Why does "top" show me three process running even though no Login threads are running?

Depending on the thread-implementation that’s being used in your Perl and/or in your operating system, “threads” might appear as “processes.”   For instance, the NPTL (New Posix Threads Library ... an operating-system feature) appeared in later versions of Linux but not earlier ones ...)   As you may have guessed, I simply don’t know about details of the Threads packages in the earlier Perls.

    You don't even know the difference between threads & Thread as you keep conflating the two. And yet, you continue to keep offering advice based upon your misreading of the documentation.

        Rank? You mean xp? xp means you have experience visiting perlmonks
