How / where to get a Perl that has threads?

[Oren Maurer]

Thanks for the reply, Anton.
I'm cross-posting your 2 answers  also to the Padre development discussion list.

So... - Here is a question is to padre developers:

FreeBSD had a package named "p5-fork".

Could Padre use this on FreeBSD?
(or even on other OS's ?)

If yes - How??


The "p5-fork" is actually: http://search.cpan.org/dist/forks/

See here:
http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=devel&portname=p5-forks

and here:  http://www.freshports.org/devel/p5-forks/


See also my question on the FreeBSD-Perl list:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-perl/2009-March/002097.html

Thanks
