Where did you read all of that because it's out of date.
All of the above is deprecated in favor of ESL and the perl module for ESL.
That should have been much easier to find than the stuff you are referencing
since ESL was even mentioned
in this very thread.

What threading issues are you having in perl?  Are you actually going to use
perl for a threaded app?
