perl ithreads are not actual light weight OS threads that share the same common name (nobody actually says "ithreads" referring to perl "threads" from what I've seen) and many people look at them merely because of this unfortunate naming choice. Maybe OP wants to look at Coro.

They're a bit expensive to start up, and there's a cost to sharing data between them. Neither of those things are issues most of the time. Coro is a co-operative multitasking system. Possibly useful, but not exactly threads.	[reply]
