Re^3: use dual-core or quad-core

I think the "number of cores" is just the number of parallel threads or processes used, which shouldn't be too hard to in perl.

Beware that threads can have nasty pitfalls in perl, so if you don't have a lot of data to share between the parallel calculations you could try to start separate processes instead.
