Name
async
Synopsis
$t
= async {
block
};
Description
Creates a new thread to execute the block that follows it. The block
is treated as an anonymous subroutine (and therefore has a semicolon after
the closing bracket). Returns a thread object. async
isn’t exported
by default, so you can either specify use Thread qw(async);
or
fully qualify the name (Thread::async
).
