Below is some code being used to test threads. I'm trying to move
some code into separate files and use "do <file>" to run the code.
When I try this, I get strange behaviour. It is likely some isuee of
variable visibility, but I can't figure it out. Help please. (All
results are on Win2K with ithreads).
Regards,
Steve
The code is Q.pl (below).
When it is run as is, it runs fine, producing:

If you comment out the Q1 and Q2 sections, and use the "do" file
commands to run the same code (now located in Q1.pl and Q2.pl), the
program produces the same (correct) output except it also prints (when
exiting):
Attempt to free unreferenced scalar during global destruction.
Scalars leaked: 1

Scalars leaked: 1
If only one of the "do" file commands is used (and the other left as
explict code) then there are complaints about initialization, e.g. if
Q1 is left inline, but Q2 is done as a "do 'Q2.pl';", it produces:
Sleeper 2, iteration 0, error 0.00000, current time 0.00000
Sleeper 3, iteration 0, error 0.00000, current time 0.00000
Sleeper 5, iteration 0, error 0.00000, current time 0.00000
Sleeper 7, iteration 0, error 0.00000, current time 0.00000
Sleeper 11, iteration 0, error 0.00000, current time 0.00000
