+Description: Perl framework implementing coroutines
+ Coro is a collection of modules which manages continuations in general, most
+ often in the form of cooperative threads (also called coros, or simply "coro"
+ in the documentation). They do not actually execute at the same time, even on
+ machines with multiple processors.
  .
- Coro collection manages continuations in general, most often in the form of
- cooperative threads (also called coros, or simply "coro" in the
- documentation). They are similar to kernel threads but don't (in general) run
- in parallel at the same time even on SMP machines. The specific flavor of
- thread offered by this module also guarantees you that it will not switch
- between threads unless necessary, at easily-identified points in your
- program, so locking and parallel access are rarely an issue, making thread
- programming much safer and easier than using other thread models.

- Unlike the so-called "Perl threads" (which are not actually real threads but
- only the windows process emulation ported to unix, and as such act as
- processes), Coro provides a full shared address space, which makes
- communication between threads very easy. And Coro's threads are fast, too:
- disabling the Windows process emulation code in your perl and using Coro can
- easily result in a two to four times speed increase for your programs. A
- parallel matrix multiplication benchmark runs over 300 times faster on a
- single core than perl's pseudo-threads on a quad core using all four cores.
