I believe that you can check $Config{useithreads}. If that's true,
then threads are available.
If you're asking about how a Makefile.PL should respond if a module
needs threads, you should just print a notice about it and "exit 0"
before the Makefile.PL is created. (This will work for CPANPLUS and
recent versions of CPAN.)
# Makefile.PL
use Config;
if ( $Config{useithreads} ) {
print "This module requires a version of perl that has threads.\n";
exit 0;
}
# rest of Makefile.PL continues as normal
