$_->join for threads->list, what does this do.

It simply waits for, and then joins, any remaining threads.

Your problem is simply to ensure that the main process doesn't exit until all threads have been joined. My example is just a simple way to ensure that all remaining threads have been joined.

Please bear in mind that threads in perl are extremely expensive to create and consume a lot of memory, so I suspect that creating new threads in findHostNodes is a bad idea.

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.
