I have perl 5.8.5 installation on hpux11 box. It was installed by my sys admin. but whenever i run some code which use threds it gives the fooloowing errors:- 

$ /usr/local/bin/perl closure
closure line 6:

This Perl hasn't been configured and built properly for the threads
module to work.  (The 'useithreads' configuration option hasn't been u
+sed.)

Having threads support requires all of Perl and all of the XS modules 
+in
the Perl installation to be rebuilt, it is not just a question of addi
+ng
the threads module.  (In other words, threaded and non-threaded Perls
are binary incompatible.)

If you want to the use the threads module, please contact the people
who built your Perl.

Cannot continue, aborting.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.3/PA-RIS
+C2.0/threads.pm line 28.
Compilation failed in require at closure line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at closure line 6.

My question is , how can i rebuild the perl with threading enabled. will i have to install everythng from the very beggining. Or is there some simple workaround. can someone of u outline the steps involved.
Rgds, Neeraj.
