Need Help??

Balaji_Jananayagam has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Guys, Below code did not working in perl 5.10.x. It looks like constant doesn't support ternary operators. Shed some light.

use strict;
    my $hw = `uname -i`;
    my $word64 = 1 if ( $hw =~/x86_64|ia32e/);
    print "word $word64\n";
    use constant CRACKLIB  => $word64 ? '/usr/lib64/cracklib_dict' : '
+/usr/lib/cracklib_dict' ;

Thanks in advance! Balaji
