All,
I have a script that utilizes www::mechanize to download and categorize a
huge amount of internet content (similar to a search engine). I'm using a
hash to store and limit concurrent threads to reasonable number; as well as
sharing hashes between threads (threads::shared); At seemingly random
intervals the script crashes with an error like "Free to wrong pool 223f98
not 1d3d210 at D:/Perl/lib/XSLoader.pm line -1.". Anyone have an idea what
this error means or why this is happening? Is there a better way to limit
concurrent threads?

for my $Host (keys %notvisited){
if (!$threadarray{$Host}) { # No thread already launched
for $Host
while ((scalar keys %threadarray) >= $MaxNbOfThread)
{
sleep 1; # $MaxNbOfThread thread running
reached, so we wait
}
$threadarray{$Host}=1; # Semaphore to tell
thread for $Host is active
my $t = threads->create(sub{DoTheThing($Host)});
if (!$t) { error("Failed to create new thread\n"); }
$t->detach(); # We don't need to keep return code
}
}
sub DoTheThing{
my $thehost=shift;
#uses www::mechanize to download $Host
}
