[NTLUG:Discuss] Perl problem

[Stuart A Johnston]

Sounds like the module might be changing your working directory. Can you 
use absolute paths?

You also might consider whether threads are the best solution. The 
threading implementation in Perl is not really very commonly used, 
particularly on Linux. Other options would include Parallel::ForkManager 
and Coro, or just simply 'fork'.

For more suggestions maybe post in a Perl-specific forum like DFW.pm.
