to thread or not to thread ?

Posted on 2006-06-18 21:21:19-07 by nono

I read a lot of things about threads, if i recompile perl to enable threads, my other applications (Mdk10.2 config tools etc...) don't work anymore. I would like to know if i can use the modules without threads and what will be the consequences ? I'm a newbie in perl and don't understand all the subtilities and documentation (i'm french). Thank you.

Re: to thread or not to thread ?

ok,the module doesn't work without threads. The solution is to recompile Perl (with thread enabled) in a special place like ~/perlthreaded , create a bin directory in perlthreaded and compile perl ! then start your script with ~/perlthreaded/bin/perl 'yourscript' ... hope this will help someone ...
