Quite a lot of those are in fact real distributions (eg. perl, parrot). In fact I think that perl itself shouldn't be part of CPANTS I've no clue on how to figure out if something is a pragmatic module (any hints appreciated..)
Hopefully this will be helpful
forks-0.04
Maybe this should be integrated into threads.pm. If people think this is a good idea, please let me know. It's not a pragma, just as threads is not considerd to be a pragma (or is it?).
load-0.05
I definitely intend this to be a pragma. As part of my plan for world domination, I would like to see this replace all AutoLoader.pm dependencies. So that you can control loading of modules externally: on demand for threaded applications, everything at once at mod_perl (pre-fork) startup time.
