Threads are mainly useful as a way to regain some of the fork() semantics on amputated platforms that don't natively offer something equivalent. Indeed, the iThreads you so like, in various respects behave more like forked processes than like ye olde threads.

Aristotle Quit doggin' me.

A platform that chose a non-forking model of multi-tasking isn't "amputated", it just made different--I would contend, more modern and sensible; but don't let's get into that argument-- design-time choices.

The biggest single problem with iThreads is that they attempt to emulated that model of operation.

I simply try to make best use of what is available, and counter the (ongoing) FUD that they are unusable. And I think that I have demonstrated conclusively that used properly, they can be used very effectively.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

Silence betokens consent.

Love the truth but pardon error.

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.
