Chris and/or Rob,
could you please try the following:
1/ take
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/p5.14.2.1-RC/strawberry-perl-5.14.2.1-portable-32bit-beta-1.zip
2/ take
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/32_libs/5.14-extras/32bit_pthreads-2.9.0-bin_20111101.zip
(unzip into the same dir as 1/)
3/ try to build PDL with pthreads support
My quick test failed during PDL installation (but it was really a quick
shot)
Any feedback welcome

We've tested the PDL pthread support with "POSIX Threads
(pthreads) for Win32" at http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ .
It is nice because it allows PDL computations to make use
of multicore processors for calculations. Always nice to see
those factors of 2X, 4X, 6X, or more in speedup....

As for the future gcc-4.6.2 toolchain there is also an interesting
question about including pthreads or winpthreads support as PDL is AFAIK
somohow able to handle threads this way (not sure if this is valid for
Win32)
Yes, pthreads works with PDL on Win32.
There's a crash in one of PDL's pthread test scripts that needs to be sorted
out, but the basic functionality seems to be fine.
Cheers,
Rob
