Description Nicholas Wourms 2002-07-29 10:11:24 UTC

Since linux has a rich threads library, might I suggest that the perl e-build 
use -Dusethreads to enable a threaded perl?  Since gentoo is about performance, 
I believe this enhancement would give perl a boost of speed with some modules, 
especially on SMP machines.

Comment #7 of #5091, indicates that the maintainer has accepted this feature
request and thus this request is finished.
