Another way to look at it is that unlike e.g. each, the docs for map and grep do not say anything about it not returning values in order (not to mention that the examples assume it).
Also, looking at the pitfalls of emulating fork on Windows and possible "thread safe" concerns, I would hope that any parallelization would be introduced in some optional way, such as a new function (e.g. pgrep), or using pragmas to turn it on or off. Or worst case, even if none of that occurred, I would be shocked if there was not a way to compile perl without a parallelized grep.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
