Description dada 2000-10-09 03:00:01 UTC
  Quote from /src/etc/defaults/make/conf:
	# To build perl with thread support
	#PERL_THREADED=  true

  This cannot work because in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/Makefile.inc
  PERL_THREADED is compared against the string "yes".

Fix: 

The simple fix would be to change "true" to "yes" in make.conf.
	Unfortunately this will break the compilation of perl!

	I see two options:
	(1) Remove the documention of PERL_THREADED in make.conf
	(2) Fix the Perl build such that "make PERL_THREADED=yes all" works
How-To-Repeat: 	cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl
	make PERL_THREADED=true all install
	perl -e '$Config{usethreads} or die "Recompile Perl"'

Mark doesn't have enough perl-related PR's assigned to him already.

We have no PERL_THREADED any longer.
