well I found out that the installed perl doesn't have threads by running a thread sample script. But I guess I still need to know if any other options were used during the install.

It should show on 'perl -V' under Compile-time options.

I suppose its safest to assume that I need to reinstall perl, but how easy is it to do that? I think it was installed by default.

Easy, as long as you've updated ports with cvsup or portsnap. As root:

cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
make -DWITH_THREADS install
make clean
