in reply to script hanging at thread start

From perldoc threads

WARNING

The "interpreter-based threads" provided by Perl are not the fast, lightweight system for multitasking that one might expect or hope for. Threads are implemented in a way that makes them easy to misuse. Few people know how to use them correctly or will be able to provide help.

The use of interpreter-based threads in perl is officially discouraged.

    I know very little about threads but it strikes me that this problem is better suited to fork
    (assuming this is on a *IX OS)

    edit

    I've just reread the original question and it's Strawberry Perl which I believe implements fork with threads
