I'm currently working on a script in Materials Studio 2016 which has an incredibly long for-loop that could potentially be broken up into smaller pieces and run in parallel.

What I'd like to know is the following:

- How do I query information such as the number of processors assigned to a script dynamically?
- How do enable multithreading in a Perl script within the context of MS16?

If I know these two things, then I'll be able to go forward by myself.
