Both the interface + and implementation are subject to change drastically. In fact, this + documentation describes the flavor of threads that was in version + 5.005. Perl 5.6.0 and later have the beginnings of support for + interpreter threads, which (when finished) is expected to be + significantly different from what is described here. The information + contained here may therefore soon be obsolete. Use at your own risk! + One of the most prominent new features of Perl 5.005 is the inclusion of threads. Threads make a number of things a lot easier, and are a very useful addition to your bag of programming tricks. |
