in thread Where can I get Threaded Perl 5.8 binaries for Win2K?

What gave you that idea? I have all sorts of threaded apps running on perl 5.8 from ActiveState. Make sure you download 5.8 and not 5.6

    My download has the perl interpreter under the path c:\perl\5.8.0\bin\MSWin32-x86-perlio\perl.exe (may be I took the pkg from a wrong location :(. Also, the '-V' option showed "usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=undef". I am downloading again the msi pkg and will cross check.

    meetraz is correct. Their documentation references it in several places so that would be a bad blunder it threads were not supported.

    Bad or old download?

      Thanks meetraz & marza. The problem I guess is with the AS pkg. Previously I had used the AS pkg. This time I tried the msi pkg, which works (useithreads is defined for the perl in this depot).
