Exactly. That is exactly what I was trying to do. I tried your script, and get the following error:


This Perl hasn't been configured and built properly for the threads mo
+dule to work. (The 'useitthreads' configuration option hasn't been us
+ed.)

Having threads support requires all of Perl and all of the XS modules 
+in the Perl installation to be rebuit, it is not just a question of a
+dding the threads module. (In other words, threaded and non-threaded 
+Perls are binary compatible.)

If you want the use of the threads module, please contact the people w
+ho built your Perl. 

Cannot continue, aborting.

+-64int/threads.pm line 28.

Yes. Install a newer version of perl that is configured and built with threads enabled. I would recommend that you get 5.8.4 or 5.8.5.
