I've not gotten into the technical bits yet. That's next, but rip this apart first.
First rip -- I left a section unfinished. It should be:
=item "Process-type" threads
The scheme must also support the perl 5 "iThreads" threading model. In this model no data is shared implicitly, and all sharing must be done on purpose and explicitly. It very much resembles the Unix fork-process-with-shared-memory-segment model, not a surprise as it was originally developed with emulation of Unix's fork system in mind.
