22 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
21 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
23 | |
|
|
24 | This module implements coroutines. Coroutines, similar to continuations, |
|
|
25 | allow you to run more than one "thread of execution" in parallel. Unlike |
|
|
26 | threads this, only voluntary switching is used so locking problems are |
|
|
27 | greatly reduced. |
|
|
28 | |
|
|
29 | Although this is the "main" module of the Coro family it provides only |
|
|
30 | low-level functionality. See L<Coro::Process> and related modules for a |
|
|
31 | more useful process abstraction including scheduling. |
