       MCE::Channel::Threads - Channel for producer(s) and many consumers

VERSION

       This document describes MCE::Channel::Threads version 1.901

DESCRIPTION

       A channel class providing queue-like and two-way communication for threads only. Locking is handled using
       threads::shared.

       The API is described in MCE::Channel.

       new
           use MCE::Channel;

           # The default is tuned for one producer and many consumers.
           my $chnl_a = MCE::Channel->new( impl => 'Threads' );

           # Specify the 'mp' option for safe use by two or more producers
           # sending or receiving on the left side of the channel (i.e.
           # ->enqueue/->send or ->recv2/->recv2_nb).

           my $chnl_b = MCE::Channel->new( impl => 'Threads', mp => 1 );

QUEUE-LIKE BEHAVIOR

       enqueue
       dequeue
       dequeue_nb
       end

TWO-WAY IPC - PRODUCER TO CONSUMER

       send
       recv
       recv_nb

TWO-WAY IPC - CONSUMER TO PRODUCER

       send2
       recv2
       recv2_nb

LIMITATIONS

       The  t/04_channel_threads  tests are disabled on Unix platforms for Perl less than 5.10.1. Basically, the
       MCE::Channel::Threads implementation is not supported  on  older  Perls  unless  the  OS  vendor  applied
       upstream patches (i.e. works on RedHat/CentOS 5.x running Perl 5.8.x).
