A perl binary built with threading slows down all applications, even those that do not use threads, noticeably. I like that FreeBSD's Perl uses Perl's default settings in most cases, with the port letting users override them if they choose. Perl itself disables threads by default. > this is what U see in Perl with other OS'es. I usually build my own perl binaries on other operating systems, partly because of this. Tom
