Hi,
I am new in perl programming. I have used perl5.8.8 on solaris 8 with threaded options. I have written an application which has forked a child. And child is spawning several perl-threads. Each thread is doing following task independently:
1. creating a file & writing some data in proper manner. Every variable thats need to be get modified, I have used with my directive in thread function. The rest of the vaiable thats are read-only in child threads kept as thread::shared
2. then each thread forking a C++ application which is in turn parsing the perepared file & forming packet & firing packet through socket & receiving response from remote server. All modifiable variables are kept local as mentioned before & read-only vaiables are kept shared.
3. the output of this C++ apllication is analysed in my perl application & it is updating the database. I have used DBI module to intereact with database. In-order to maintain thread-safe manner( as DBI is not safe) I have made local to thread function wataever DBI object I am creating.
i am joing all threads to the child process.When all threads completes its work it is exting using thr->exit().When all threads are exiting child process is exiting automatically. I am stoping the parent process(my application which is forking child process) to stop forking one more child until previous child is exited properly using some unix command( combination of ps -ef & grep).
This application is working fine with 10000 data but when we are increasing the data it is throwing core dump. I have analized core dump with the help of gdb. I have got following stack trace:

I am looking for suggestion from monks to identify the problem behind it.
