Hi,

Is this package even supposed to work under NetBSD(-current at least)?

On today's -current amd64, fully upgraded pkgsrc (past a
rolling-replace) and with
perl 5.30.3,  a simple test like

....
(under Ubuntu 2020):
# parallel -k echo ::: A B C > abc-file
# cat abc-file
A
B
C
....

fails under NetBSD-current it goes into sleep forever; when I break
into the perl process I only get:

in _sys___wait450 () from /usr/lib/libc.so.12
(gdb) thread apply all bt

Thread 1 (LWP 4668 of process 4668):

erl.so

Perhaps some other libpthreads peculiarity? I do not have anything
relevant to perl in /etc/mk.conf.
