skip threads on older perl versions, as they often segfault #31

Closed haarg closed 2 years ago

haarg commented 2 years ago

Threads are super unreliable on perls older than 5.10.1. They will cause segfaults even for extremely trivial cases. Better to just skip the threads tests on those perls.

Later 5.8 releases may be a bit more reliable, but 5.10.0 is particularly bad. For simplicity, just cut it off at 5.10.1.
