Fwiw Perl 6's concurrency and parallelism is very much one of its strengths, not one of its weaknesses.

(It's pretty obvious to me that you are writing about Perl 5, not Perl 6, but it might not be obvious to others. Indeed some folk will even claim Perl 6 isn't a Perl, but Perl's original creator Larry Wall thinks Perl 6 is a Perl, and I think he has a point.)
