Even though the 5005 threads are experimental and are supposedly going to be phased out, I've compiled perl 5.6.0 for Win32 so others can play with and enjoy the Thread.pm module just as I have.

I made two versions, both with threads, one with Tk, which can be found here: http://www.imagemap.org/perl

I heard there was going to be a new threading model with perl 6, so I wouldn't rely on the Thread module too much, although I must say that I've had a lot of fun making multithreaded Perl/Tk applications. (now if I can only get perl2exe to work with it somehow. . .)
