Hello Michael,
Are you saying that Perl with ithreads is slower, therefore implementation of threading on Perl is generally avoided?
I write apps for both Windows and UNIX platforms. I thought that iThreads is the better alternative to forking, which I think is not well implemented in Windows.

Hello Philip,
You are suggesting that FBSD 4.x is not easy to compile ithreads via
ports. I wonder why FBSD even on 5.x does not come with ithreads
precompiled (Linux does!). But I find it quite a deterent to use FBSD
for multiple apps in the future.
One of the biggest complaints I hear (and voice) is that the linux distros ship a perl with ithreads. It's slower and almost noone wants or needs it. It looks like FBSD is doing what the majority of people want it to do, so I wouldn't knock it :)
