Thanks, I was just running into this issue myself. Even several of the code snippets out there for threads do not take this into account. This one is used in several places

    use Thread; 
    $thr = new Thread \&sub1;

    @ReturnData = $thr->join; 
    print "Thread returned @ReturnData";

    sub sub1 { return "Fifty-six", "foo", 2; }

It returns two. Some keywords: perl thread return values join multiple last array

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
