fork() creates threads on Win32 nowadays so just fork() out as many
threads you like and run each test in its own thread. You may then
share the information between the threads with IPC::Shareable, IPC::ShareLite or
something. I think Amine has a Win32 specific module for shared
memory at http://www.generation.net/~aminer/Perl/ so that one should
work under WinNT/2000 for sure.
