Dear Sam,

If you look at the perl -V output I supplied for AIX, you'll see that the AIX one is already compiled with threads.

(From the original post:

Here's how things are built: AIX:
...
... osname=aix
... archname=aix-thread-multi 
... usethreads=define
... useithreads=define 
...
[download]

)

(I already have a larege multi-platform suite of modules and scripts that I developing and using and the environments are set up as nearly identically as possible between Linux and AIX already since many / most of the scripts are able to run on either platform. So, I appreciate the input, but that's not the issue here.)

Kind regards

Derek.
