Hi, I was investigating threaded perl as an option for a server architecture and came across the "forks" and "forks::shared" modules which are drop-in replacements for "threads" and "threads::shared".
This allows you to work with Perl's threading API even without a Perl which is compiled for multi-threading. It also gives an option if you just prefer the characteristics of a multi-process architecture over a multi-threaded architecture. Does anyone have experience with these ("forks"/"forks::shared")? Are they stable (i.e. "production-worthy" at VERSION 0.10)? Anyone thought of using them with Apache/mod_perl to share data between Apache child processes? Stephen
