Subject: Update the docs on threads
When people have trouble using DBI and threads, I often point them at https://metacpan.org/pod/DBI#Threads-and-Thread-Safety.  However, it was written some time ago when ithreads were young and I feel it could use an update.  It points at a post about threads from 2003.  Since then, threads have greatly improved.  I would be interested to see an update to "Threads and Thread Safety" taking into account the state of threads and drivers today.
I would be delighted to see a patch to update the "Threads and Thread Safety" section. Since I don't use threads I'm not qualified to write it myself.
