Note that Gentoo builds a proper Perl by default.  You have to be
specific if you want a non-standard Perl build (threads etc.):

This is from the perl.ebuild file:

	ewarn ""
	ewarn "PLEASE NOTE: If you want to compile perl-5.8 with"
	ewarn "threading enabled , you must restart this emerge"
	ewarn "with USE=ithreads emerge...."
	ewarn "Threading is not supported by all applications "
	ewarn "that compile against perl. You use threading at "
	ewarn "your own discretion. "
	ewarn ""
