in reply to configuration options for local perl install with threads

To answer your question regarding the difference between -Dusethreads and -Duseithreads---there is no -Duseithreads. According to the INSTALL doc:

"By default, Configure selects ithreads if -Dusethreads is specified".

As for the next question, you didn't compile it with threads because you used -Duseithreads when you should have used -Dusethreads.

    Er, no. -Duseithreads is effectively a synonym for -Dusethreads.
