Re: How to require threads? (was FAIL Thread-Queue-2.04 darwin-2level 9.1.0)

[Jerry D. Hedden]

Thanks for the responses.  I went with the following:

In the following modules, I added 'threads' as a
prerequisite:

    threads::shared
    Thread::Queue
    Thread::Semaphore
    Thread::Cancel
    Thread::Suspend

In the Makefile.PL for 'threads', I used (per Dave's
suggestion):

    use Config;
    BEGIN {
        die("OS unsupported:  ERROR: This Perl not built to support threads\n")
            if (! $Config{'useithreads'});
    }

This should result in NA's for any attempts to install
'threads' on non-threaded Perls, and no reports at all for
the other modules because their 'threads' prerequiste is not
met.
