Re: Help needed

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

The OS in which I am running perl is on Windows 2000.  Further, I dont was
to switch to java.  Basically, there are set of independent activities which
I should be performing everyday as a backup.  Now presently I have one perl
script which does this in sequence.  This takes longer time to finish
(almost 8 hrs).  Now I wanted to use threads and perform the tasks in
parallel so that it finished sooner.  While doing this, to know which thread
did what and what was its error/output messages, I wanted to run
them(threads) in separate shell window.  Hope I am a bit clear this time in
explaining what I wanted.

Any thoughts?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks and regards
BTR Naidu
