=head1 DESCRIPTION
By default, variables are private to each thread, and each newly created
=head1 EXPORT
-C<share>, C<cond_wait>, C<cond_signal>, C<cond_broadcast>
+C<share>, C<cond_wait>, C<cond_timedwait>, C<cond_signal>, C<cond_broadcast>
Note that if this module is imported when C<threads> has not yet been
loaded, then these functions all become no-ops. This makes it possible
=item cond_wait VARIABLE
+=item cond_wait CONDVAR, LOCKVAR
+
The C<cond_wait> function takes a B<locked> variable as a parameter,
unlocks the variable, and blocks until another thread does a
C<cond_signal> or C<cond_broadcast> for that same locked variable.
to reacquire the lock on the variable. (So if you're only using
C<cond_wait> for synchronisation, give up the lock as soon as
possible). The two actions of unlocking the variable and entering the
-blocked wait state are atomic, The two actions of exiting from the
+blocked wait state are atomic, the two actions of exiting from the
blocked wait state and relocking the variable are not.
+In its second form, C<cond_wait> takes a shared, B<unlocked> variable
+followed by a shared, B<locked> variable. The second variable is
+unlocked and thread execution suspended until another thread signals
+the first variable.
+
It is important to note that the variable can be notified even if
no thread C<cond_signal> or C<cond_broadcast> on the variable.
It is therefore important to check the value of the variable and
-go back to waiting if the requirement is not fulfilled.
+go back to waiting if the requirement is not fulfilled. For example,
+to pause until a shared counter drops to zero:
+
+ { lock($counter); cond_wait($count) until $counter == 0; }
+
+=item cond_timedwait VARIABLE, ABS_TIMEOUT
+
+=item cond_timedwait CONDVAR, ABS_TIMEOUT, LOCKVAR
+
+In its two-argument form, C<cond_timedwait> takes a B<locked> variable
+and an absolute timeout as parameters, unlocks the variable, and blocks
+until the timeout is reached or another thread signals the variable. A
+false value is returned if the timeout is reached, and a true value
+otherwise. In either case, the variable is re-locked upon return.
+
+Like C<cond_wait>, this function may take a shared, B<locked> variable
+as an additional parameter; in this case the first parameter is an
+B<unlocked> condition variable protected by a distinct lock variable.
+
+Again like C<cond_wait>, waking up and reacquiring the lock are not
+atomic, and you should always check your desired condition after this
+function returns. Since the timeout is an absolute value, however, it
+does not have to be recalculated with each pass:
+
+ lock($var);
+ my $abs = time() + 15;
+ until ($ok = desired_condition($var)) {
+ last if !cond_timedwait($var, $abs);
+ }
+ # we got it if $ok, otherwise we timed out!
