You should be able to find it on perl.com.  

What version of perl are you running?  perlthrtut.pod was added in the
5.005 series, so you won't find it in an ancient 5.004_0[45] installation.

Are you trying to learn how to thread your code, or trying to learn
how to thread code in Perl?  I suspect that the threads tutorial is
a reasonably good place to pick up some threading concepts if you're
happy parsing Perl syntax (instead of, say, Java syntax).  

If you're specifically trying to write threaded perl code, it's best to
wait until the threading implementation stabililzes.
