[sf-perl] threads, threads::shared, and multiple locked variables

[yary]

How about code with # what goes here? comments

I'm a little fuzzy on what the question is. It sounds a little like
the old-school "select" call that takes a bit vector representing file
handles, which paused and then filled 3 other bit vectors saying which
handles were ready to read, write, or had an exception-is that what
the question is-using "threads" mechanisms to signal which of several
things are ready?

perldoc -f select shows what I remember as similar:
my ($nfound, $timeleft) =
    select(my $rout = $rin, my $wout = $win, my $eout = $ein, $timeout);

...my go-to in these situations is to `use MCE;` and figure out which
of its many idioms applies...
