Re: Migration to Perl64 bit

Hello Jith

generally speaking a 64bit version of a program can address a huge amount of memory. See 64 bit on wikipedia. This is valid for Perl too.

Regarding the module you cited it seems it could works fine on both arch. version matrix is a useful things!

Because your mention of 64bit and win32 (well the namespace Win64 on cpan does not exists) be sure to be aware of possible pitfalls. read mines

i addition you can always give a try using strawberry perl's portable editions 5.22.1.2 / 64bit 5.22.1.2 / 32bit 5.22.1.2 / 32bit - without USE_64_BIT_INT install the module and see the tests results or test with your intended program the portable installations, after this you can easyly remove them L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
