Is there any way to have perl implement multi-threading in a pool like manner. Lets say I have a set number of concurrent jobs set to 5 and there are 6 jobs all together. I want kick on 5 jobs concurrently and as soon as 1 of the 5 jobs finish, the 6th job would get kick off. This is in NT environment (not sure if OS has to do with real multi-threading) and the jobs are really commandline executeable to call other programs.<br />
<br />
Is there any good reads with example on the web?<br />
thanks<br />

Multi threading with queue

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
