I tried POE and Threading without success,...

Either is capable of doing what you've asked for. If you've had trouble it's because you've done it wrong. Why not show us your attempt(s) and let us help you correct them?

Update: Just to show how easy it could be:

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use threads qw[ async ];

sub sub1 {
   while(1) {
       print "in sub 1";
       select undef, undef, undef, 0.1;
   }
}

sub sub2 {
   while(1) {
       print "in sub 2";
       select undef, undef, undef, 0.1;
   }
}

async \&sub1;
sub2;

Of course, it's not very useful, but then niether is the spec :)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
