[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] are net::ssh::perl and net::sftp considered thread safe?

[Yishay W. <yis...@ho...>]

Hi,

In order to use net::ssh::perl and net::sftp in a non blocking fashion I'm 
considering using them with threads. I first would like to know if it's 
considered safe. I'm using perl 5.8 on windows.

I already tried using fork() for the same purpose but encountered some 
problems on win2k. I would sometimes get an error message. I can't currently 
reconstruct the problem I had with fork(). I might give more precise info in 
a separate post. I was only wondering if anyone's tried using threads for 
this purpose or if a different non-fork() solution exists. Using expect.pm 
seems like overkill for me, anyway it appears to just be a variation of the 
fork() solution if I'm correct.

Thanks,
Yishay
