NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::Community::Threads - Interpreter-based threads are officially discouraged

DESCRIPTION

       Perl interpreter threads are officially discouraged. They were created to emulate "fork()" in Windows
       environments, and are not fast or lightweight as one may expect. Non-blocking code or I/O can be easily
       parallelized by using an event loop such as POE, IO::Async, or Mojo::IOLoop. Blocking code is usually
       better parallelized by forking, which on Unix-like systems is fast and efficient. Modules such as forks
       and Parallel::Prefork can make forking easier to work with, as well as forking modules for event loops
       such as POE::Wheel::Run, IO::Async::Process, or "subprocess" in Mojo::IOLoop.

AFFILIATION

       This policy is part of Perl::Critic::Community.
