=head1 SYNOPSIS
@@ -41,6 +41,12 @@ The C<Thread> module provides multithreading support for perl.
WARNING: Threading is an experimental feature. Both the interface
and implementation are subject to change drastically.
+In fact, this documentation describes the flavor of threads that was in
+version 5.005. Perl v5.6 has the beginnings of support for interpreter
+threads, which (when finished) is expected to be significantly different
+from what is described here. The information contained here may therefore
+soon be obsolete. Use at your own risk!
