"... toxic...."
This one, right?
"The "interpreter-based threads" provided by Perl are not the fast, lightweight system for multitasking that one might expect or hope for. Threads are implemented in a way that make them easy to misuse. Few people know how to use them correctly or will be able to provide help."
Ja, ja. The few enlightened and the many blockheads. Is multitasking only stuff for some self-appointed elite? No. This should be extinguished from the docs!

Yes, we just covered that. The docs officially recommends against you using threads because you are too stupid to use threads. What kind of recommendation is that!? Of course threads are hard; that has nothing to do with Perl, and whatever alternative you're going to use instead isn't going to be any easier. And then you went and repeated this travesty.

Threads is beautiful for many use cases. So are many parallel modules available on CPAN. Running parallel using Perl is amazing on today's multi-core processors, having 16 or more cores. | [reply] |
