It is possible to spawn a thread from inside another thread but
remember that the thread will belong to the process and not to the
thread that spawned it (as usually with threads...).

use threads;

sub InternalThread {
     # do something...
}

sub ExternalThread {
    # do something...
    my $it =3D threads->create(\&InternalThread);
    # do something else in parallel with InternalThread...
    $it->join();
    # do the rest
}

# main()
my $et =3D threads->create(\&ExternalThread);
$et->join();
