Yes, perl-AFS doesn't really work on 64bit platforms. This is because its library dependencies are all a bit of a mess - it mixes PIC and non-PIC libraries, as well as mingling pthread and LWP code in the same object. It just about gets away with this on 32 bit platforms, but this doesn't work on 64bit, and no longer works with OpenAFS 1.6.0. I've been doing some work on sorting all of this out. This requires some OpenAFS library changes (so that we provide PIC versions of all of the symbols perl-AFS needs), which will be in 1.6.1, as well as patches to the perl-AFS code itself. BTW - The _pic.a variants of the libraries are included in the authlibs-devel package from openafs.org.
