README for Thread::Exit This module add two features to threads that are sorely missed by some: a thread local exit() (that only exits the thread and not the whole program) and the equivalent of an END subroutine (which is executed when the thread is done, but before the thread returns). *** A note of CAUTION *** 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. ************************* Copyright (c) 2002 Elizabeth Mattijsen . All rights reserved.
