When-ever I feel that I can try threads, I can also use fork to solve the same problem with ease; with more control over the process/problem and what is expected to happen
most of the modules(CPAN/core) just works fantastic with forked processes, I fear whether it would work properly with threads.
This is my opinion and I am happy working with processes rather than threads.

-- In accordance with the prarabdha of each, the One whose function it is to ordain makes each to act. What will not happen will never happen, whatever effort one may put forth. And what will happen will not fail to happen, however much one may seek to prevent it. This is certain. The part of wisdom therefore is to stay quiet.
