Also note perl.com is now running an article on threads::shared. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/06/11/threads.html It's mainly aimed at module authors, but it could be of interest anyway.

Does anyone know the logic behind making the threads modules all lowercase? I'd expect it to be Threads::Shared, not threads::shared. -John

Re: threads in 5.8 (was: mod_perl2.0 / TIPool)
We are really having fun here of courseand personally I'm more interested in the features than the writing Thread or thread...but perhaps one place to draw the line would be If a directive or hint changes the behavior of the compiler or interpreter in a non-reversable fashion then it deserve to be called a pragma. ie the 'no mod' is not supported, similar to 'use diagnostics'. Anything else that can be turned on and off at run time, could be called a module. So 'use integer' falls in that category. This approach allows the interpreter designer to fully take advantages of the optimization opportunities or plan of actions. Having said that I was drawn to this language, because I (as a perl programmer) can be schizophrenic and the language accommodates me, Ican change everything at run timethanks Perl Matt Sergeant wrote: On Thursday 13 June 2002 11:50 pm, John Siracusa wrote: > On 6/13/02 6:40 PM, Matt Sergeant wrote: > >> Does anyone know the logic behind making the threads modules all > >> lowercase?
