Fwiw, the threads(3perl) manpage has this since 2014:
The use of interpreter-based threads in perl is officially discouraged.
I was bummed, too :< but I've decided it wasn't worth the
effort to deal with the problems threads could cause down the
line in future Perl versions. For example, common libraries
like File::Temp will chdir behind-the-scenes which is
thread-unsafe.
(of course I only care about *BSD and Linux on MMU hardware,
so I use SOCK_SEQPACKET and fork() freely :>)
