Subject: Why is there a dependency declaration on threads?
Build.PL and META.yml declare a dependency on threads but I see perls are passing all tests without just fine. The declaration causes fail reports to be withheld for perls without threads. (Before a FAIL report is allowed to be sent all prerequisites are tested to be loaded). So I think the depedency declaration is both wrong and harmful. Thanks && Regards,
