=head2 Building with threads
For Irix 6.2, you have to have the following patches installed:
Run Configure with -Duseithreads which will configure Perl with
the new Perl 5.8.0 "interpreter threads", see L<threads>.
The old Perl 5.005 threads is obsolete, unmaintained, and its use is
discouraged. If you really want it, run Configure with the
-Dusethreads -Duse5005threads options as described in INSTALL.
For either thread model and for Irix 6.2, you have to have the
following patches installed:
1404 Irix 6.2 Posix 1003.1b man pages
1645 Irix 6.2 & 6.3 POSIX header file updates

your machine to panic and crash when running threaded perl. Irix 6.3
and later are okay.
Thanks to Hannu Napari <Hannu.Napari@hut.fi> for the IRIX
pthreads patches information.
