Be aware of the differences between Coro and threads. Most importantly, Coro is cooperative threads. Only one CPU is used. If any coroutine blocks, so does the entire program.
use strict;
use warnings;
use 5.010;
use Coro;
my @threads;
for my $t ( 1 .. 3 ) {
push @threads, async {
print "coro $t says hi $_\n" for 1..3;
};
}
for (@threads) {
$_->join;
}
... prints ...
coro 1 says hi 1
coro 1 says hi 2
coro 1 says hi 3
coro 2 says hi 1
coro 2 says hi 2
coro 2 says hi 3
coro 3 says hi 1
coro 3 says hi 2
coro 3 says hi 3
Coro has a yield() call which can be used to interleave coroutines. However, libraries that don't call yield() or use other Coro facilities can still block everything.
Also, yield() doesn't involve additional CPUs, so cpu-intensive programs may benefit more from threads or fork().

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).
