OT: Upgrade to perl 5.8.5 - why not threading?

[Smart,Dan]

I went through the work of installing perl 5.8.4, but my original release
had threading turned on.  Might I ask why you turned off treading?

Are you running Linux, and what does your perl -V look like?  The perl
compile asks so many questions that I had no idea how to answer...

TIA
