Perl won't be reporting a 64-bit capable machine, when running a
32-bit OS. Look in /var/run/dmesg for 'AMD Features' to report
'LM' (long mode).
So why there is a 64int? We can suppose that perl has seen that
Marc's proc is a 64 one no? I asked that cause I got a 64bits
(amd) which run on a 32 bits mode and I got oftenly such
"i386-freebsd-64amd"
By chance any of you built the Perl w/ USE_64_BIT_INT option? See
"perl -V".
Actually, from what I can tell, that is the default, whereas you can
disable it if you wish ...
