hi there basically...I have instantiated long term running thread/s.
in the main thread, i want to pass a subroutine (code ref) and its parameters into a threads::shared variable, then execute it in a separate thread running in a while loop. I want to do this, because having a group of a couple instantiated long term running threads, before processing starts, would be less expensive, then instantiated many short term threads for each call...which would be expensive and affect performance due to the lag in thread creation. calls and subroutine's/parameters will vary, so injecting the code into a running thread is what i would like. I hope you all now can understand. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, - Jeremy A.
