Actually, as long as you aren't using server push, MacPerl behaviour is
essentially indistinguishable from Unix Perl in this respect. As opposed to
AppleScript, MacPerl does FIFO queueing.

I fully agree that MacPerl performance is far less than ideal for a heavily
loaded site (as Greg Knauss would say, it just doesn't give you enough
high-tech penis-inches in the WWW locker room), but there are enough sites on
the information backwoods dirt road for which it does just fine.

Yes, although it started under the name "NTPerl".
