Also you can get binary perl distribution. Most Linux distribution provide perl built with threads support. Or you can get ActivePerl

    Am using ActivePerl on Windows XP. Would i be able to download Activeperl for windows that is pre-built with multithreading support?

      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"
