    ActiveState Perl, at least on Windows, always has thread support built in.

    I somewhat doubt that it's possible to compile Perl without thread support on Windows, but certainly, ActiveState is not doing that.

      I have installed ActivePerl 5.10 in WindowsXp. When i try to run the code am still getting the below mentioned error

      "this Perl not built to support threads"

        Then, your Perl is not build to support threads. Get a Perl that was built to support threads.

        Personally, I doubt that you are running the Perl you think you are running. You can verify what version of Perl you are running by starting

        perl -V

        This will inform you about the Perl version and the directories it uses.

        What you have downloaded probably isn't ActivePerl.

        ActiveState no longer offers 5.10 for download, except if you paid for Business Edition and Enterprise Edition

        If you paid for Business Edition and Enterprise Edition, you also paid for support, so contact contact ActiveState for support
