Looking at the Perl 5.8 and higher executables on my iBook, I noticed something odd: 1009636 perl5.8.1-threaded 1014388 perl5.8.1-unthreaded 1013816 perl5.8.2-threaded 1018568 perl5.8.2-unthreaded 1009908 perl5.8.3-threaded 1014656 perl5.8.3-unthreaded 1038056 perl5.9.0-threaded 1042904 perl5.9.0-unthreaded The "unthreaded" executables are consistently _larger_ than the "threaded" executables. On Linux, this is quite the opposite and more in line what I would expect. I wonder how this could come to be. Seems like either somethings strange is happening with the threaded version (something missing) or the unthreaded version (unneccesary bloat?). Liz
