Hi all: Regarding PDL pthreads--when testing PLplot and pthreads, I had to get a thread-enabled version of perl working:

Configure -Dusethreads -des # perl configure step

I had thought that -Dusethreads was what one enabled to allow perl threading, so it seems to me they are at least related.

Regards,

Thanks for the confirmation.  It means that it should be
possible to get pthreads support in for win32 and cygwin
platforms.

Correct, the PDL pthreads implementation is independent of perl threads.

John, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is independent of
Perl threads. The idea, as I understood it, was to leverage light weight
threading to parallelize calculations if your system supported it. The
threads are initialized and finalized in the same C function, so you don't
need to worry about Perl-aware threads.

However, I have not studied the implementation too closely, so take what I
have to say as an educated guess.
