At work, the 64bit Power4/Power5 IBM AIX systems come with 32-bit Perl. After reading the README, I wasn't interested in building everything in 64-bit, so when I build a Perl to build DBI with, I build it with similar settings to the vendor's (unsupported, "contributed") 32-bit Perl. If one of my

2006-06-21 Thread James Eshelman
I have a large O-O perl system running on Fedora Core 3 ( I know, it's old! - that's a separate subject) on Xenon 64-bit processors. The perl interpreter is only a 32-bit app. Anyone have an idea how much performance boost we're likely to get by recompiling everything for 64-bits? Looks
