If you look through the failure report below, you'll find
the relevant issue:
ERROR: This Perl not built to support threads
This is purposefully generated in Makefile.PL:
use Config;
BEGIN {
die("ERROR: This Perl not built to support threads\n")
if (! $Config{'useithreads'});
}
Thus, there is no failure; there is a lack of meeting a
prerequisite. As such, trying to install this module should
result in an UNKNOWN and not a FAIL.
My question is how to code Makefile.PL to require a Perl
version built with ithreads, but not have it be reported as
a failure?
