[gentoo-dev] use Thread;

[Ric Messier]

Really stuck. use Thread gives me an error that Thread.pm can't be
located. It doesn't appear to be on my system anywhere. Trying to
install using the CPAN module tells me that the most recent version of
the Thread module comes with 5.8.0. I can't download the module because
it appears to be default within the package.

Just re-emerged 5.6.1. Saw Thread.pm in the build tree but then it never
got installed. I'm not seeing anywhere why this should be. Anyone have
any ideas?

Thanks,
Ric

Yeah. Go to bugzilla. =:) 

Seriously, there are two issues here. The perl 5.8 that is in portage does not have the usethreads on yet. I have an ebuild I am working on, -r1, that has threads enabled, but that is still in development here at home. Thread support was not stable in perl until 5.8, so if you use 5.6.1 you have to recompile by hand and enable the EXPERIMENTAL use of threads (which may break, docs say so).

Possibly related, though you didn't say mention it so this is a stab, is  that after a week of no response from the dev list, I committed the new perl-modules.eclass, which affects building modules from within portage. I'm waiting for word back from any perl 5.8 users (have a 5.6.1 user that confirms it is good) before committing the fix. (bug 6097)

Hope this helps, 

Michael

FYI, the corrected perl-modules.eclass has been commited and all sounds
good (at last). I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused,
