[Kde-perl] threads with PerlQt

[Marius Kjeldahl]

Perl's current threading model already leaves a lot to be desired, and I doubt 
it will play well with Qt's OS-level threads. If you decide to go ahead, make 
sure you understand both threading models on their own (and verify that they 
work like you expect in Perl) before you try to merge them.

I have no idea if QThread has been ported to Perl at all.
