Hi.
It seems that perl 5.16 doesn't know about useithreads -
/usr/perl5/5.16/bin/perl  -V:useithreads
useithreads='undef';

(and mod_perl for apache 2.4 requires them). I think I'll do the following:
a) wait for integration of https://www.illumos.org/issues/3900 fix,
b) obsolete perl 5.10 and replace it with perl 5.16
c) add perl 5.18 compiled with -Duseithreads
