This does not sound right.  What OS/environment is this?  'perl -V'

I think I need some hints about what OS you are running in order to
answer that.  The perl_key thing should be the type that can hold a
handle to the thread specific info that pyperl needs.  Currently there
are only attempts to support pthreads and win32 threads.

That something is wrong :-)
