Looking further I also tried threads->list() (as Igor mentions). Perldocs
say:
threads->list();
This will return a list of all non joined, non detached threads.
Shouldn't this give you an idea how many threads are still running?
I tried this (also "print scalar threads->list()" trying to get a count),
but the list remained unchanged the entire time...
while(1) {
sleep 3;
print threads->list();
print "\n";
}
