Version 0.04

    Thread::Cleanup::register {

     warn "Thread $tid finished\n";

This module allows you to hook thread destruction without fiddling with the internals of threads.

It acts globally on all the threads that may spawn anywhere in your program, with the exception of the main thread.

Specify that the BLOCK will have to be called (in void context, without arguments) every time a thread finishes its job. More precisely,

• it will always be called before the joining for joined threads ;
• it will be called for detached threads if and only if they terminate before the main thread, and the hook will then fire at END time ;
• it won't trigger for the destruction of the main thread.
