I'm trying to figure out how to use threads, and I'm getting rather confused.

I'm trying to execute the following code on ActivePerl (the installer SAID it supported threads but I get this error: No threads in this perl at thread.pl line 4.) 

use Thread;


$huh = Thread->new(\&thread1);


for(1..200){
   print "This is the main program";
}

print "Waiting for thread now";
$stuff = $huh->join();


sub thread1 {
   for(1..200){
      print "Thread1 is running!";
   }
   return 1;
}

It was suppost to be a simple experement that I could build off of.

Any help would be appreciated (heres a tutorial suggestion... threads in perl!)
