Bareword "threads::joinable" not allowed while "strict subs" in use

The program is:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use threads;

my $thread_num = 2;
foreach(1..10){
    if(threads->list()>=$thread_num){
        sleep(1);
        foreach my $thr (threads->list(threads::joinable)){
            $thr->join();
        }
    }
    
    threads->create(\&runthread,$_);
}

while(threads->list()){
    sleep(10);
    foreach my $thr (threads->list(threads::joinable)){
          $thr->join();
    }
}

exit(0);


sub runthread
{
    print($_[0],"\n");
    print(threads->list(),"\n");
    return 0;
}

Best guess: the version of threads that came with 5.8.8 predates the addition of the threads::joinable constant.

Solution: Upgrade.

[Preceptor]

I seem to recall the threads module can be updated on it's own, if upgrading the perl instance isn't an option.

[BrowserUk]

Indeed it can. But I've no idea if the latest threads would work with such an old perl.
