«...Perl threads are terrible and not what you want. Nothing useful about perl is thread safe...»
This is pure FUD. But you may explain how you jumped to this conclusion. In the meantime I downvoted your node..as a precaution.

Perl threads are terrible and not what you want.
5005threads were a mess and were removed entirely in 5.10. The newer interpreter threads model effectively emulates fork but retains the possibility of explicitly sharing some variables using threads::shared. Perhaps there are major problems I do not know about; my needs so far have been met with pipe, fork, and select (or whatever Tk::fileevent actually uses internally).
