    Import p5-forks-0.36 as devel/p5-forks.

    The forks.pm module is a drop-in replacement for threads.pm.  It
    has the same syntax as the threads.pm module (it even takes over
    its namespace) but has some significant differences:

    - you do _not_ need a special (threaded) version of Perl
    - it is _much_ more economic with memory usage on OS's that support COW
    - it is more efficient in the startup of threads
    - it is slightly less efficient in the stopping of threads
    - it is less efficient in inter-thread communication

    If for nothing else, it allows you to use the Perl threading model
    in non-threaded Perl builds and in older versions of Perl (5.6.0
    and higher are supported).
