  Devel::STrace (and its dependent Devel::RingBuffer) needs threads->self()->tid() to uniquely identify each thread in the ringbuffer. As the same infrastructure is being applied to a (in-development) debugger, I'll take a look at what can be done to isolate the threads dependency for non-threads Perl.

    Hey, that would be great! I hope you can find a way to pull that off.

      OK, Devel-STrace-0.31.tar.gz [presicient.com] and Devel-RingBuffer-0.31.tar.gz [presicient.com] are now available at my website. While I don't have any nonthreads Perls to test with, I've emulated via an environment variable.

      I'd appreciate your giving it a whirl on your nonthreads Perl and let me know if it flies; I won't CPAN until I hear from you.

        Thanks for doing this. Unfortunately, Devel::RingBuffer requires IPC::Mmap and the latter requires threads.

          <sigh/> Sorry about that (FWIW, its only the test suite that had threads dependencies). IPC-Mmap-0.12 [presicient.com] is available on my website. If you get a chance, give it a go.

            I'll try and get to this when I have a chance. I'm pretty busy at work right now. Currently, Devel::Trace solved my problem.
