NAME
   Thread::Cleanup - Hook thread destruction.

VERSION
   Version 0.07

SYNOPSIS
       use Thread::Cleanup;

       use threads;

       Thread::Cleanup::register {
        my $tid = threads->tid();
        warn "Thread $tid finished\n";
       };

DESCRIPTION
   This module allows you to hook thread destruction without fiddling with
   the internals of threads.

   It acts globally on all the threads that may spawn anywhere in your
   program, with the exception of the main thread.

   The hooks registered with this module will also be called when
   pseudo-forks (i.e. processes spawn on Windows for the "fork" emulation)
   terminate.

FUNCTIONS
 "register"
       register { ... };
       &register($coderef);

   Specify that the given block or code reference $coderef will have to be
   called (in void context, without arguments) every time a thread or a
   pseudo-fork terminates. More precisely :

   *   For joined threads, it will be called when "join" succeeds, after
       any "END" block local to the spawn thread ;

   *   For detached threads, it will be called if and only if the thread
       terminates before the main thread, and the hook will then fire at
       global "END" time ;

   *   For pseudo-forks, it will be called when "waitpid" succeeds, after
       any local or global "END" block ;

   *   It will never trigger for the destruction of the main thread.

EXPORT
   None.

   well, but don't rely on it, as no guarantee is made in this regard.
