Sure, threads could be extended with some convenience functions

exit( 0 );

    my $args   = ref $_[0] ? shift : { slaves => 4, maxdq => $max * 10
+00  };
    my $slaves = $args->{slaves} || 4;
    my $maxdq  = $args->{maxdq}  || 1e9;
    my $qin    = Thread::Queue->new( @_, ( undef ) x $slaves );
    my $qout   = Thread::Queue->new();
    my @kids   = map {
        threads->create(

                my( $cb, $qin, $qout ) = @_;
                local $_;
                while( $_ = $qin->dequeue ) {

                    }
                }
                warn 'tids ahoy ', threads->tid;
