+Perl used to have two different internal threads implementations.  The current
+model (available internally since 5.6, and as a user-level module since 5.8) is
+called interpreter-based implementation (ithreads), with one interpreter per
+thread, and explicit sharing of data.  The (deprecated) 5.005 version
+(5005threads) has been removed for release 5.10.
 
 The 'threads' module is for use with the ithreads implementation.  The
-'Thread' module offers an interface to either 5005threads or ithreads
-(whichever has been configured).
+'Thread' module emulates the old 5005threads interface on top of the current
+ithreads model.
 
 When using threads, perl uses a dynamically-sized buffer for some of
 the thread-safe library calls, such as those in the getpw*() family.
