Re: Perl 5.6 fixes (ITS#1659)



hello,

I don't think this is really necessary for now.  Since the current code 
+ patch should compile with both 5.0005 and 5.6.  The changes to the 
current code is very small.

We really need to move away from the "one big giant lock" approach.  To 
maybe "interpreter pooling".  The backend starts a user-definable number 
of perl interpreters, and passes these on to threads round-robin, or 
according to which is free.
