Ravi,

Are you looking for general help on how to build a perl binary from source? 
 I believe you can simply do:

./Configure -Duseithreads

in a freshly untarred perl distribution and follow the build instructions. I
t will enable ithreads by default during the build.

Depending on what you're planning on doing with perl threads, you can also t
ry installing the forks CPAN module, which emulates threads without requirin
g a threaded perl core (or even perl 5.8):
