<blockquot>I am not aware of any problems that that a threaded build of perl causes for non-threaded applications, apart from a minor drop in performance.

Not sure if you'd know, but I thought I'd ask; know how minor? or how impacting is it to currently non-threaded scripts?

One thing I do have to watch out about is this version will be put out onto approximately 350 servers. At this time, my data collection scripts, only, will be using it. The collections script is not to be threaded. The threading is more for the "server" side script which gathers all the data collection dumps and loads it into the database.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
