Hi,

Is each thread actually created? What do you get with this wordy program

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use warnings;
use strict;
use threads;
use threads stack_size => 4096, 'exit' => 'threads_only';;

Main( @ARGV );
exit( 0 );

sub Main {
    open my( $data ), '<', \'not,match
server1.net,value
server2.net,value
server3.net,value
server4.net,value
';
    while( my $Serv = <$data> ) {
        chomp $Serv;
        my $thread = threads->new( \&runMoo, $Serv );
        print tidt( $thread ), "Created thread for $Serv \n";
    }
    while( threads->list ) {
        for my $thread ( threads->list( threads::joinable ) ) {
            print tidt( $thread ), "Joining ", $thread->join, "\n";
        }
        Win32::Sleep( 33 );
    }
    print tidt(), "Work complete\n";
}

sub runMoo {
    my( $server ) = @_;
    Win32::Sleep( rand 4000 );
    print tidt(), "Starting runMoo('$server')\n";
    if( $server =~ /(\w.+\w\d+.+net),(\w+)/ ) {
        my $Server = $1;
        my $Type   = $2;
        print tidt(), "Connecting to $Server\n";
        Win32::Sleep( rand 2000 );
    } else {
        print tidt(), "not match server ($server)\n";
    }
    print tidt(), "Done for $server\n";
}

sub tidt {
    my( $thread ) = ( @_, threads->self );
    my $tid = $thread->tid;
    return join '', $tid, " " x $tid, $tid, " ";
}
