That didn't work for me, I believe I'm using an HP make utility; 'man make' shows that it does not have a version switch.

Naw...your statement "you might be on an architecture which hasn't been tested" makes me leery. These are our first Itanium servers; I'm trying to install all the modules we currently use into 64-bit perl 5.8.8. Once done/tested it would be used/copied to other Itaniums including a production tier.
