"The question you really need to ask is what is the bottleneck"
Although I haven't done any proper profiling, I'm quite certain (through observation of the logs that I create) that the bottleneck is caused through waiting for timeouts as each "offline" device is encountered. Whenever this happens, the script basically blocks and waits, before proceeding. The problem this creates for me (which I forgot to mention in my OP) is that I have been getting a significant number of false negatives, due to the time out being set too low. But increasing the time out by just a few seconds causes the total runtime to increase dramatically, hence my need to look at something like threading.

Cheers,
Darren :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
