They are not part of 5.6 so either require 5.8 or require Threads. Maybe 5.8 as threads were very experimental on 5.6.....

I have ActiveState Perl 5.8, Build 805 on my system at work, and according to the thread documentation:


Perl 5.6 introduced something called interpreter threads. Interpreter 
+threads are different from ``5005threads'' (the thread model of Perl 
+5.005) by creating a new perl interpreter per thread and not sharing 
+any data or state between threads by default.

Prior to perl 5.8 this has only been available to people embedding per
+l and for emulating fork() on windows.

You can do threads on 5.6 but Threads.pm is not core, ie it is a PRE_REQ if your module needs Threads.pm.
