Hello Darryl,

I guess it has to do with the compilation of pyperl  and later zoperl

1.) you need a python and a Perl build with threads enabled.

For my perl version I compiled perl  from sources  and used the option:

   sh Configure -Dusethreads  
 
I used gcc for compile

2.) you have to include this perl (and your python) in your PATH, I 
  would not use a symbolic link.

3.) compile and install pyperl again.

  I used pyperl-1.0.1
  
  I activated multifile support:
  
   cd pyperl-1.0.1/Python-Object
   cp ../MULTI_PERL .
   perl   Makefile.PL
   make install
  
   # compile it:
  
   cd ..
   python setup.py install
  
   ....
