I was looking at using Thread::Status to work on some problems with one
of my threaded applications, but it requires Thread::Signal, which
currently only works on perls compiled with -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS. I'm
running Red Hat Enterprise Server 3.0 with a custom compiled perl, where
I removed that flag because it no longer is true.
Two things: Can Thread::Status be made to work without Thread::Signal
and would you know whom to contact about making perl properly detect the
THREADS_HAVE_PIDS status?
Almost all modern Linux distributions will have this problem, with the
exception of Slackware (which will probably be there soon).
