If you get the Perl distribution tarball and untar it, you'll find a README
file.  The INSTALLATION section has the basic steps.  The only difference
would be to use:

    ./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl -Dusethreads

For more detailed information, read the INSTALL file (which has a section
on threads).
