There is no old Threads module. There is a Thread.pm and a
threads.pm. Thread.pm now exists only as a compatibility layer to
provide a 5.005 compatible interface to threads.pm. Beyond that 5.005
style threads are dead.

ithreads are still being improved, and are already mostly usable in the
later Perl 5.8 releases. They are being used for mod_perl 2.0. :)

The whole threads stuff is a bit off-topic for the PDK mailing list,
so you should move this discussion to the ActivePerl or Perl-Win32-Users
mailing list unless the issues are unique to PerlApp/PerlCtrl/PerlSvc
etc.

Cheers,
