Where to get unthreaded perl ?

[rab54]

Guys -

I am searching for an unthreaded version of perl - I have tried CPAN and others but having no joy -

Any ideas welcome ...

According to

http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.4/INSTALL#Threads

Perl compiles by default without threads. So you should probably get the source code and build it yourself to make sure threading is not enabled.

Cheers - I am trying to set Interchange up on my linux box (RH9) - If I run it I get a message saying it will not run with a thread-enabled perl -

is there a way to 'unthread' an already installed version ?

Or do I need another version ?

cheers

I don't know if/how you can turn off threading, but I suspect you'd have to reinstall Perl. I guess you'd need to uninstall the version you have then download the Perl source code and build it, making sure threading is not enabled.
