Need Help??

in reply to What Windows 64 bit traps are out there?

Use a 64bit OS with 32bit Perl, because Perl is not fully supported in its 64bit version.

I think Perl should spend more time getting a fully working 64bit version with supporting modules instead of working on the future of Perl 6 in 32bit.

If we figure when Perl 6 will be released for main stream use then what bit the OS's will be 96bit or 128bit? Sounds like Perl 6 has a lot of its time waisted as a 32bit version

Perl is not a person or an organization, its the language

And perl5 and perl6 are two separate projects

Neither, by then 666bit will dominate

Sounds like Perl 6 has a lot of its time waisted as a 32bit version

Must have equally huge biceps by now
