What is your source for the equivalence of "-Dusethreads" and "-Duseithreads"? (I'm not enough of a threads user/expert to confirm that statement. I do know that when I do smoke tests for FreeBSD, I include '-Duseithreads' because that's how the system perl on that OS is configured.) > IMHO mentioning both "-Dusethreads > -Duseithreads" can confuse people.
