I'm afraid you missed my point (my fault for trying to be funny):
Your proposed description field is useless. Please write something that
tells the prospective user why they might want to install/use it. Maybe
this was clear, but I didn't get that feeling from your response. Something
like
Description: run perl functions in parallel
A function to start several copies of a perl function with different
arguments and collect the return values.
