    Question Installing and Compiling Perl on Linux using i686 & x86-64 Processors.

    Installing and Compiling Perl on Linux using i686 & x86-64 Processors.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While installing perl5.8.9 on i686 and X86-64 linux machines specifying the default path /usr/local two different folder are created with namings related to the type of processor in the system.

    If we install perl on i686 then the folder structure for i686 linux machine is like
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/i686-linux
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/i686-linux and

    if we install perl on x86-64 then the folder structure for x86_64 linux machine looks like
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/x86_64-linux
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9/x86_64-linux

    Is it really required to compile perl on different architectures of linux and have to maintain seprate folder structures according to the machine architecture. Can we have a unique folder which we maintain for solaris machinces.

    Anyone Please help me on this.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Because Linux supports both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries on 64-bit systems, this behavior is expected. As for compiling both 32-bit (i686) and 64-bit (x86_64) versions, that is entirely up to you.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise.
