Yes, the threads module comes pre-packaged with ActivePerl, and does not appear to exist according to PPM, so it's not upgradable without upgrading ActivePerl, which involves me dealing with company red-tape.
The elusive "is_running.al" shouldn't need to exist outside of the module itself. It's all part of Perl\lib\threads.pm and its associated lib\auto\threads\ library. Additionally, I can't seem to get any of the constants from threads to work. Documentation refers to threads::running and I get a bareword error when I try to use that.
