This is not particularly important, however. What is important, is the fact that threaded perl, *especially* in -stable, is evil and breaks a lot of things. I emphasize -stable here since threaded 5.6.0 in -current is compiled with different, more forgiving threading options and hence is not that dangerous. People on perl5-porters mailing list call this the `5.005 threads disaster'. I don't know how this is relevant to UPDATING, but I am sure that the appropriate comment in /etc/defaults/make.conf is in order. Cheers, =Anton. -- May the tuna salad be with you.
