Some answers to this are on the bug ticket rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=65735, and have come from a combination of Daniel Macks and mcmahon. For one thing, threads on Windows have been supplanted by ithreads after Perl 5.10. In addition, a nice patch by Gaspar Chilingarov seems to have made a lot of headway today towards solving the problem. The t/thread.t tests are simply skipped if version >= 5.10. The only remaining problem is in telling the test harness/TAP - that it is okay not to have any tests for this. Just printing out "ok" to STDOUT or STDERR before exiting does not work. I will break out my old book - Perl Testing .. A Developer's Notebook - and figure this out. I should be able to get it from here, but if anyone could spare me the reading, that would be great.

Got it. Just for completeness, I will list the last problem and its solution. I was getting the error below when tests were being skipped completely. Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output The solution was to use Test::More in t/thread.t, and add " plan(skip_all => $message); at the appropriate place, which was just before exiting the file, once it became known that all tests were to be skipped.

Corrected. Thanks for the reminder. The shown code in question is now downloadable, too.	[reply]
