> That's too bad; I know that threads were very unstable and buggy, but I wish they had been improved them instead of considering them "to have been mistakes". No snark: Patches welcome. There have been people who tried to implement better threads for Perl ( https://metacpan.org/release/threads-tbb https://metacpan.org/release/threads-tbb , https://metacpan.org/release/threads-lite https://metacpan.org/release/threads-lite ). However the task is such a monumentally difficult one, that unless you have considerable ressources available (Java, Go), you're unlikely to get a very good implementation of them (Python, Perl). Perl being entirely volunteer-developed means that there currently simply is nobody with both the knowledge, and the available time, to do this. If you think you can do it, or know someone who can, please by all means give it a try.
