Name DSLIP Description Info
Thread barriers provide a mechanism for synchronization of multiple threads. All threads issuing a "wait" on the barrier will block until the count of waiting threads meets some threshold value. This mechanism proves quite useful in situations where processing progresses in stages and completion of the current stage by all threads is the entry criteria for the next stage.
This module only functions on Perl versions 5.8.0 and later. And then only when threads are enabled with -Dusethreads. It is of no use with any version of Perl before 5.8.0 or without threads enabled.
INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
DEPENDENCIES
This module requires threaded Perl 5.8.0.
