Perl语言的多线程（二）

aaahd

　　很多时候使用perl多线程可以达到很不错的效果，可以节约很多时间完成很复杂的工作。但通过perl threads模块的描述文件可以看到，它也有很多缺点。比如说在使用perl多线程的时候，必须的保证所有引用的模块都是支持thread。而在实际应用中，我们很难做到这样。比如我们要多线程，但同时要应用OLE模块去操作activex。 此用例应该是一种很常见的用例。那是不是意味着此时我们不得不放弃使用多线程呢。 非也， 本文介绍一种可以使用多线程和ole的例子。
　　在http://www.cpan.org/官方网站上对这种情况给出的方案是：

　　If the module will only be used inside a thread, you can try loading the module from inside the thread entry point function using require (and import if needed):

     sub thr_func
{
require Unsafe::Module
# Unsafe::Module->import(...);
....
}
　　If the module is needed inside the main thread, try modifying your application so that the module is loaded (again using require and ->import()) after any threads are started, and in such a way that no other threads are started afterwards。


　　再次，主要讨论一下第二种情况，既主要是该非thread模块放到方法中引用。下面是一个demo。


　　


Code
use threads;
use threads::shared;
use Thread::Queue;
no warnings 'threads';

my $TIMEOUT : shared;
$TIMEOUT = 1;
# the sig for end thread

$TERM = 0;
#my $excel;
$SIG{'INT'} = $SIG{'TERM'} = sub{ print("\n>>> Terminating <<<\n"); $TERM=1;};
$SIG{'KILL'} = sub{ printf("%3d <- Killed\n", threads->tid());

　　在此例子中，用到了queue，它的作用是将非thread 安全的数据通过管道传输，这样能避免他们互相调用。
