The doc you mentioned is about the variables and preprocessor defines that are available after you perl has been built. The `use64bit.U` you see there is the name of the metaunit that is used in Configure during configuration to set the variables available through `use Config;` runtime. To see the arguments to use on the command-line, this documentation won't help you at all. In fact, https://perldoc.perl.org/ is not showing you those docs at all :/ Worse, I did not see the wanted docs on https://dev.perl.org either. So, read this instead: INSTALL. Enjoy, Have FUN!
