This is correct.  Threads causes a significant performance hit, often in
the 20% range and "The use of interpreter-based threads in perl is
officially discouraged." so we do not enable it in the system perl.

That would also be my recommendation. I do want the system perl in
OpenBSD to be as generally useful as possible, and unfortunately Padre
is the one actually useful thing I know of that requires perl threads.

For this use I too would recommend a parallel installation.

I have had good luck with plenv on OpenBSD

and have heard good things about perlbrew although have not tried it.
