Perusing Thread::Queue, I see that it has no XS code and just does 

use threads::shared 1.21;

So replacing that with 

use forks::shared 1.21;

[download]

would probably work fine. No, I haven't tested it (neither have you).

You could even do some hackery so that you don't have to edit Thread/Queue.pm... And looking inside the source code for forks::shared I see that this hackery is already done, despite finding no evidence of that in the documentation for forks::shared nor forks.

So you should just try it: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use forks;
use forks::shared;
use strict;

use Thread::Queue;
...
