2005-07-12 Thread Michael G Schwern
Configure sez: The 5005threads version is effectively unmaintained and will probably be removed in Perl 5.10, so there should be no need to build a Perl using it unless needed for backwards compatibility with some existing 5.005threads code. Can I assume, for the purposes of closing bugs
