Well, to be honest, perlmonks was consistently the highest-quality source for me in getting this thing made. But it sounds like you might have expected that. ;)

I think my question/curiosity might be coming from not understanding who to listen to...and I would see posts with clear thread solutions, where someone would often chime in suggesting using another package. Then I'd run of to test that and, every time, would be disappointed by the performance of the non-thread suggestion. Combined with the "official" discouragement, it makes me wonder if there's a shorter shelf life for my code and if maybe I'm was just missing something.
