BrentDax has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm working on a Perl script that's part of a wider system which might be deployed to arbitrary "consumer" Unixes (Mac OS, Linux, maybe BSD, etc.). Can I generally expect the Perls on these sorts of platforms to support modern threading, or should I stick to more pedestrian things like fork()?
