Hello

When I try to use threads, I get the following error even after installing the new 5.8.6: 


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/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi
+-64int/threads.pm line 28.

So if 5.008 is the new perl version, why am I not able to run a threads module?

Thank you.
