Error using thread module: This Perl not built to support threads?

Question

In script, I'm using threads and Thread::Queue and also using version perl 5.18.2. when I run my scripts it gives Error:This Perl not built to support threads In documentation, I read, it is an error. What is the possible solution to resolve this?

Answer 1

When you build Perl, you need to use -Dusethreads to make a build of Perl that supports threads.

sh ./Configure -Dusethreads
make test
make install

I personally use perlbrew to install Perl.

perlbrew install 5.18.2 --as=5.18.2t -Dusethreads
