I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Threads join leaves threads running
Often times I have threads that do not finish after the join method is called. I thought join was supposed to wait for all threads to finish running. When I create 9 threads I often get the following messages: 5 running and unjoined 4 finished and unjoined 0 running and detached It skips 5 when that message comes back. If I get this message it is ok: 0 running and unjoined 9 finished and unjoined 0 running and detached This is what the code looks like
for (1-10) { $thr=threads->create(\&func,$vars); } $thr->join();
Is there a way I can make join wait until all 10 threads finish? I would like to see the 2nd set of output statements every time it runs. Instead sometimes I get the first set which causes problems and other times I get the 2nd set which is ok. I need to ensure all threads ran properly before exiting. I am using: Perl v5.8.5 threads : 1.72 threads::shared : 0.92

Re: Threads join leaves threads running
$thr->join() only joins the thread for object $thr. In your loop, $thr is assigned to the next thread with each iteration.

If you don't need to know anything about the threads other than to join them, you can simply your code to this:
threads->create(\&func, $var) foreach 1..10; $_->join() foreach threads->list();
(Of course, there are other ways you could do this.)
