No, unfortunately there isn't (at least, not without delving into the
code). Your best and simplest option really is to install
lang/perl5.8. Remember that you need to install it with the
WITH_THREADS make option in order to get a threaded perl. Threading
support in perl-5.005.03 was still quite experimental. Support in a
recent version, like 5.8.5 is much better
Cheers,
Matthew
