Sorry, you have found the old implementation of threads, as documented in "perldoc Thread". They never worked on Windows and should have been completely removed in 5.10. http://perldoc.perl.org/Thread.html You want threads.pm. http://perldoc.perl.org/threads.html http://perldoc.perl.org/perlthrtut.html -- We do what we must because we can.

I'm going to close this up as "rejected", but I don't mean that personally. It's just the appropriate status for "this was not a bug in Thread". No need to reply if your problem was solved, but feel free to reply if it was not.
