# Find Fibonacci primes in parallel, using Math::Prime::Util and Perl threads.

# Dana Jacobsen, 2012.
#
# This will fully utilize however many cores you choose (using the $nthreads
# variable).  It spreads the numbers across threads, where each one runs a
# BPSW test.  A separate thread handles the in-order display.  I have tested
# it on machines with 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 64 cores.
#
# On my 12-core computer:
#    24    5387              0.65488
#    25    9311              4.39227

# Though not as pretty as the Haskell solution on haskell.org, it is a
