perl was compiled with threads support since 5.8.1 and is not binary
compatible with previous 5.8.x releases therefore and for other
reasons, see the perldelta docs.

There is a perl list to talk with the perl5-porters, see
http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=perl5-porters

There is a list to talk with the Cygwin developers and maintainers,
please see http://cygwin.com/ .

There are no special lists to talk to the module authors in general
besides some big modules like
ptk http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=ptk or
DBI http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=dbi-users
which do have their own mailinglist, please see http://lists.perl.org/
for more.
