I want to enable PERL 5's thread support (yes, I know this is experimental), but I'm having trouble figuring out what to change to enable it and how to ensure that my change is preserved, or at least quickly recoverable, next time I do a `make world.' I considered making a separate PERL installation for this, but I don't really fancy tinkering with the shared-library structure of the PERL compiled with FreeBSD. I am running 3.4-STABLE on a Pentium with 72 meg of memory and two IDE drives (4G and 10G). If anyone has tried PERL threads and found serious problems, particularly on a similar system, please let me know. I am assuming that adding thread support won't break existing stuff even if it doesn't make my own thread-ready code work properly. -- Doug Lee dgl@visi.com http://www.visi.com/~dgl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
