This is as part of the client for a file-syncing application, somewhat like Dropbox. (It's a university project.) It basically has three broad responsibilities—monitoring the filesystem, watching the server for remote changes, and uploading and downloading files. I'd like to split these into three communicating threads or processes.
Using threads would allow me to pass full objects around through something like Thread::Queue, instead of having to serialize the data somehow onto a socket or pipe, so if that's a viable solution it strikes me as likely being better.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
