There's one thing you're missing and why i think it's bad to call it alarmist. It is a simple matter if fact that even if theoretically the threads implementation is bug free and the foot guns documented, actually using threads often surfaces foot guns as heisenbugs: - perl threads can work fine under a certain load, but crash randomly once the load becomes too big - perl threads can work fine on one computer, but crash randomly on another due to slight module differences This leads to a situation where the most accurate way to describe threads is: Threads are fine to use in production only once the people working with them know and understand exactly and perfectly how they are implemented, what the drawbacks are, and how to handle problems arising from cpan modules that were not written by such people or have mistakes regarding threads in them.
