probably true.
to see what your perl was configured with do a

Nope, it looks like your version of perl just doesn't support what you want to do.

You'll probably have to recompile perl and enable threads, if you have the source. Or
maybe there is a binary for your platform...?
Are you using 5.005_3 for a particular reason?
I would probably upgrade 5.6.1. :-)

@INC is perl's module include path. It tries to find any "Foo.pm" files in the paths
you see above.
It didn't find the Thread.pm module, as that would be part of the threaded perl
install.
So, you'll new a shiny, (re-)compiled version of perl with threading enabled. (Or
download a binary if you can find one for your platform).
HTH.
