Re^5: I need to know if 32-bit or 64-bit perl is running my script.

Tux,

The first two are CORE capabilities since perl5.003_07. Sorry to sound harsh, but whining that you cannot install from CPAN is bullshit, that is repeated over and over and over again with all possible workarounds here on PM.

What an arrogant response!

I guess you've been passed over for management a few times and it shows. So let us take you're two statements, both false. First, those non-core capabilities had to be downloaded from CPAN. I used a Perl 5.14.2 on a test server, so I went to a production machine and:

> /usr/opt/perl5.12.2/bin/perl -v

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 2 (v5.12.2) built for aix

And the second part that you obviously didn't understand, is that it's not a technical problem, but a management rule. The easiest way to get fired at my company is to load anything on a production server without going through a code review.

Thank you...Ed

The first two things listed are `$ perl -V:ptrsize ptrsize='8'; $ perl -MConfig -wE'say $Config{ptrsize}' 8` [download] which is available since 5.00307 since 5.003_07 1996-Oct-10 What an arrogant response!

Fine. Code review the module! If it's not part of the Perl installation, make it part of the project. Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply]
