Probably a good name, I don't know??. The thread implementation is
experimental but AFAIK growing in performance and stability so this might be
something that a lot wants to take advantage of in the near future. As I
said, the sendmail milter engine needs it, so if you want to write milters in
perl you have to do it threaded.
I would be nice with one perl package though and then a flag to the
interpreter to tell it if it needs to run threaded or not. However I don't
know if such an implementation is possible.
