	The point of the -pthread option is to ensure that perl doesn't hang
	when you load a perl module which dlopens a threaded lib. You really
	want this.

	Threaded perl is completely different. You probably don't want this
	unless you know what you're doing.

	The two are not incompatible.

	The defaults were chosen wisely, for good reasons.

Ok, thanks, I'll stick to the default.
