My thoughts, some of which may be redundant:

  1. Set stack size at threads object construction: 
    my $thr = threads->new(stack_size => 65535);

    [download]
  2. Or set the default during import: 
    use threads { default_stack => 65535 };

    [download]
  3. Or set stack size for a given thread: 
    $thr->create({stack=>65535}, 'function', 'arg1','arg2');

    [download]
    If the first option is a HashRef, treat it as options to create(); if it's a scalar, it's the function name (old-style call).
  4. Or, instead of the above, use a separate method: 
    $thr->create('function','arg1','arg2'); # use defaults
$thr->create_with(
   -call   => 'function',
   -args   => ['arg1','arg2'],
   -stack  => 65535
);

    [download]
  5. And still allow runtime changes to (and discovery of) settigs: 
    my $stack = $thr->get_stack_size() + 1024;
$thr->set_stack_size($stack) if $stack <= 2048;

    [download]

I know I mixed naming conventions for the stack size parameters; I did this to suggest several alternatives, and not to suggest that the chosen convention should be anything but consistent.
