I suck at this kind of topic but the only way I can think of doing such a thing is this:
Use IPC. fork off something like 10 children each child working on a separate file and use sysvmsg sysvshem (I do not believe these are functions and I can't look the right functions up for you right now but perldoc perlipc might be of some use) to pass messages back and forth between the children and the parent to follow what each process is doing. Anyone else? Im shooting in the dark really. - Jim At 19:04 03.25.2002 -0800, Ahmed Moustafa wrote: >Matthew Harrison wrote: >>What exactly do you mean by 'thread'? > >I've a loop which scans directories looking for files and processes the >existing files.
