(RADIATOR) Re: IMPORTANT - Radiator and multi-threaded Perl

[Eric Kilfoil]

Right, I understand that.  My point wasn't that I was running it
multi-threaded.  We use a couple of applications which do support threads,
and we were attempting to use the same perl binary for those scripts as we
do for Radiator.  This was all working fine until I tried to get AuthBy
LDAP2 working.  AuthBy LDAP2 will not run on on a PERL binary compiled
with threads enabled.  Radiator itself will run fine (in my testing)
with a PERL binary that has threads enabled.
