in reply to Re^6: Perl version 5.8.6
in thread Perl version 5.8.6

I tried following through what jZeds suggested, but I could not get perl threads to work...the new perl is installed, but when I try and install threads, the install fails....what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

    If the new perl is installed and the old perl is still around, you may still be accidentally picking up the wrong perl when you try to install threads. Try "perl -v" or "perl -V" to see which Perl is in your path.
