Thank you very much. Mario's idea is the solution for me. I just removed the x1 from the "create" call and changed the name to "__test__" to make it look more private. Passing only $self to the "test" routine is sufficient.
The reply about returning values is interesting as well, but it won't work in my application. The code I posted here is missing the work actually being done by the "test" routine, it's a bit more than "sleep 10". ;-) The procedure will start another application that will report a ready state after some time and then continue until it gets terminated. The "waiter" will have to wait for this ready state, not the end of the thread.

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).
