This should probably go on the sybperl-l mailing list.

I've never seen this particular issue, though this appears to be linked
to the multi-threading libraries.

I would start by using nm in /usr/lib to see which library defines these
symbols - on my linux box this is libpthread.a - so maybe the problem is
that your perl binary isn't linked with -lpthread, or that you need to
add -lpthread to the list of libraries that need to be linked on HP-UX.
