| a2dab6bc | 1 | NOTE: This documentation describes the style of threading that was |
| 58d672b0 JH |
2 | available in Perl 5.005. Perl 5.6.0 introduced the early beginnings of |
| 3 | interpreter-based threads support, also known as ithreads, and in Perl | |
| 4 | 5.8.0 the interpeter threads became available from perl level through | |
| 5 | the threads and threads::shared modules (in Perl 5.6 ithreads are | |
| 6 | available only internally and to XS extension builders, and used | |
| bfce6503 DM |
7 | by the Win32 port for emulating fork()). As of Perl 5.8.0, ithreads has |
| 8 | become the standard threading model for Perl. | |
| 58d672b0 | 9 | |
| 3db8f154 | 10 | As of 5.9.0, the older threading model is not supported anymore. |
