Were forks as well as threads eliminated from the original state of the problem?

    In my testing (on Windows) fork() ended up using Threads.pm, which made IO::Socket::SSL break.

    I am using threads, just not to do communication with clients.
    The package which contains the multiplexing https server has a reference to a 'dispatcher' object with methods like:
    * dispatcher->dispatch(headers,body)
    * dispatcher->pending_responses()
    * dispatcher->retrieve_response()
    The dispatcher runs in a separate thread - and manages dispatch of "work" to a pool of worker threads via Thread::Queue::Any.
