It's certainly safer then.. say.. C or C++ or PHP.

And the readability is up to programmer, not the programming language. The only language I know that forces some form of readability is Python becasue of it's usage of white space to replace common uses for brackets. Even then it's still very easy to make it fugly.

As far as threading goes.. That I suppose is a issue with Perl's currently antique-ness. It's a very old language in terms of high level languages that are being commonly used today. It hasn't had a major update in many years.

As far as threading goes it is inferior to forking on Unix-like systems for a wide veriety of reasons, except in (a minority of) cases were threading is a real nessicity. (I am thinking in general terms for things people use java/python/php/perl/ruby etc today. And Windows is completely different beast.)

Still though. Perl6 should be some very cool stuff.
