5 years? People have been trying to get decent threading into Perl at least twice that long. Bolting threading onto the side of a language that was developed in a way that is rather antithetical to threading is an extremely ugly task. I doubt you'll ever see reasonable threading in Perl 5 because
A decent threading model was attempted for many years and eventually abandoned as impossible and replaced by a horrid threading model that had a better hope of one day becoming stable, if no hope of ever becoming a particularly good way of doing threading. So the hope for decent thread support in Perl is simply Perl 6. - tye In reply to Re^3: Slow evolution of Perl = Perl is a closed Word (thread decade)
