Not necessarily, many cpan modules are either thread unaware/innocuous or thread safe, though there are exceptions. I have re-compiled Perl with threads with pre-installed libraries and never had a problem. You will surely know which things fail when they blow-up or leak you to death, when you use threading of course. Especially long-running software like mod_perl. But for that, you always have maxrequestsperchild ;-) Now that I mention it, mod_perl would probably need rebuilding IMHO just to be on the safe side, wherever _that_ is with threads ;-) Joking aside, I have scaled tremendously with apache mod_perl + mod_worker a rare but exquisite high-scale Web software recipe.
