Yes, I tried. Again, and again and again...

I spent all day updating, cvsup'ing to look whether your commit were
through to the CVS mirror, I rebuilt and installed perl from all days
from 1 to 7 days ago to avoid bootstrapping problems (the one from 2
days ago finally worked), I manually removed /usr/obj and
/usr/src/**/perl, build perl alone and from buildworld.  I mean
literally all day, in steps of 2-15 minutes.

perl is a tool that not only breaks `make world` by not being
buildable.  perl in itself is a tool used to build other parts of the
world and given the number of commits you did without even getting the
easy part right (being compilable) I have to question what you tested
about the new perl's compatibility at (perl's) runtime.  Seeing thread
support going in under these circustances also concerns.
