async
$t= async {block};
Creates a new thread to execute the block that follows it.
The block is treated as an anonymous subroutine (and therefore has
a semicolon after the closing bracket). Returns a thread object.
async isn’t exported by
default, so you can specify use
Thread qw(async); or fully
qualify the name (Thread::async).
