L~R,
Correct. But why does it say this:

archname=MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

and say this: ... usethreads=undef use5005threads=undef useithreads=define... Is usethreads=undef correct? The use5005threads is for the experimental threading model for Perl 5.005. The threading model for 5.8.0 is different from that. I do not know what useithreads is for.

I am trying to determine if my version is built "correctly" with the correct threading model as I am having problems with shared variables. I apologize for not being more verbose in my initial post.

-P0w3rK!d :)
