Hello,
I'm setting up a new server on 5.4 and noticed this in the perl.spec file:
* Mon Jul 21 2008 Stepan Kasal - 4:5.8.8-14.el5 - add two patches, which... - Resolves: #435505, #431041 - remove %%define threading, the non-threading variant is not supported, Related: 435376
That comment wasn't there when I set up a server on 5.2 a few months back and the %define threading option was still in the perl.spec file, making it easy for me to create my own non-threaded perl.
I want a non-threaded perl because the mod_perl folks say that the performance is better on a non-threaded perl.
I believe I can compare the spec files and figure out where to edit the new spec file, but I wondered about that "not supported" comment.
Is there something "bad" about the non-threading variant?
Thanks!
Take care,
Kurt Hansen khansen@charityweb.net
