Straight from the BUGS section of the threads module POD:
"Creating threads inside BEGIN blocks (or during the compilation phase in
general) does not work. (In Windows, trying to use fork() inside BEGIN
blocks is an equally losing proposition, since it has been implemented in
very much the same way as threads.)"
So, *don't* do this (yet). One good alternative I can think of off the
top of my head to minimize cloned memory is:
use Thread::Use. It's a nice package that allows you control of when
modules are 'require'd & 'import' method is called. In most cases, the
main thread doesn't need all the modules specified, just your worker
threads.
