Actually, that would be Thread::Queue (standard in the Perl 
distribution) or Thread::Queue::Any from CPAN (if you're interested 
in passing something more than a simple scalar value).

Also, beware that 5.8.0 has a severe memory leaking bug with shared 
arrays, which affects the operation of Thread::Queue.  Either get 
5.8.1 (but since that's not here yet, get one of the recent 
snapshots) or use a different implementation Thread::Conveyor from 
CPAN.
