Over twenty-five years ago, when PetaMem was still in its infancy but the use of Perl for its NLP/NLU systems was already a given (Natural Language Processing / Natural Language Understanding - we did not dare to call it AI back then), slightly before the 5.8 era and in a still-young SMP environment, I envisioned a perl that would autoparallelize. That is: dispatch your code onto the available CPUs, automatically. The idea was not mine.
