See my message several weeks ago: "FTBFS: perl" and especially the comments by Jeff Bailey. Even if we disable threads there are still lots of tests which fail that someone should investigate to ensure that they are harmless. I could try to build a hacked perl and upload it for ftp.gnuab.org as "unreleased", if that's better than nothing, but then packages which build-depend on perl would have to be uploaded there as well.
